Context of Revelation 22:12
10And he says to me, Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book. The time is near. 11Let him that does unrighteously do unrighteously still; and let the filthy make himself filthy still; and let him that is righteous practise righteousness still; and he that is holy, let him be sanctified still. Behold, I come quickly, and my reward with me, to render to every one as his work shall be. 13I [am] the Alpha and the Omega, [the] first and [the] last, the beginning and the end. 14Blessed [are] they that wash their robes, that they may have right to the tree of life, and that they should go in by the gates into the city.
