Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
8 And I, John, am the one hearing and seeing these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell to worship[a] in front of the feet of the angel showing me these things. 9 And he says to me, “See that you not do it. I am a fellow-slave of you and of your brothers the prophets, and of the ones keeping the words of this book. Give-worship to God”.
Behold, I Am Coming Quickly To Render To Each His Due. Come, Take The Water of Life
10 And he[b] says to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. 11 Let the one doing-unrighteousness still do-unrighteousness. And let the filthy[c] one still be-filthy. And let the righteous one still do righteousness. And let the holy one still be made-holy. 12 ‘Behold— I am coming quickly. And My recompense[d] is with Me, to render to each one as his work is. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. 14 Blessed are the ones washing[e] their robes so that their right[f] over the tree of life will exist[g], and they may enter[h] into the city by the gates. 15 Outside are the dogs[i] and the sorcerers, and the sexually-immoral ones, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and everyone loving and doing falsehood. 16 I, Jesus, sent My angel[j] to testify these things to you[k] for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright Morning Star[l]’. 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come[m]’. And let the one hearing say, ‘Come’. And let the one thirsting, come. Let the one wanting[n], take[o] the water of life as-a-gift[p]. 18 I testify to everyone hearing the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues having been written in this book. 19 And if anyone takes-away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take his part[q] away-from the tree of life, and out-from the holy city— the ones having been written in this book. 20 The One testifying these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming quickly’”.
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. 21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.
