New American Standard Bible 1995
Revelation 22:6-19
6And 1he said to me, “2These words are faithful and true”; and the Lord, the 3God of the spirits of the prophets, 4sent His angel to show to His bond-servants the things which must soon take place.
7“And behold, 5I am coming quickly. 6Blessed is he who 7heeds 8the words of the prophecy of this book.”
89I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, 10I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things. 9But 11he said to me, “Do not do that. I am a 12fellow servant of yours and of your brethren the prophets and of those who 13heed the words of 14this book. Worship God.”
10And he said to me, “15Do not seal up 16the words of the prophecy of this book, 17for the time is near. 1118Let the one who does wrong, still do wrong; and the one who is filthy, still be filthy; and let the one who is righteous, still practice righteousness; and the one who is holy, still keep himself holy.”
12“Behold, 19I am coming quickly, and My 20reward is with Me, 21to render to every man 22according to what he has done. 13I am the 23Alpha and the Omega, 24the first and the last, 25the beginning and the end.”
14Blessed are those who 26wash their robes, so that they may have the right to 27the tree of life, and may 28enter by the 29gates into the city. 1530Outside are the 31dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying.
16“32I, Jesus, have sent 33My angel to testify to you these things 3435for the churches. I am 36the root and the 37descendant of David, the bright 38morning star.”
17The 39Spirit and the 40bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And 41let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the 42water of life without cost.
18I testify to everyone who hears 43the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone 44adds to them, God will add to him 45the plagues which are written in 46this book; 19and if anyone 47takes away from the 48words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from 49the tree of life and 50from the holy city, 51which are written in this book.
