Revelation 22:8-21

8 1I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, 2I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things. 9But 3he said to me, “Do not do that. I am a 4fellow servant of yours and of your brethren the prophets and of those who 5heed the words of 6this book. Worship God.”

10And he said to me, “7Do not seal up 8the words of the prophecy of this book, 9for the time is near. 11 10Let 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, 11I am coming quickly, and My 12reward is with Me, 13to render to every man 14according to what he has done. 13I am the 15Alpha and the Omega, 16the first and the last, 17the beginning and the end.”

14Blessed are those who 18wash their robes, so that they may have the right to 19the tree of life, and may 20enter by the 21gates into the city. 15 22Outside are the 23dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying.

16“24I, Jesus, have sent 25My angel to testify to you these things 26 27for the churches. I am 28the root and the 29descendant of David, the bright 30morning star.”

17The 31Spirit and the 32bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And 33let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the 34water of life without cost.

18I testify to everyone who hears 35the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone 36adds to them, God will add to him 37the plagues which are written in 38this book; 19and if anyone 39takes away from the 40words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from 41the tree of life and 42from the holy city, 43which are written in this book.

20He who 44testifies to these things says, “Yes, 45I am coming quickly.” Amen. 46Come, Lord Jesus.

21 47The grace of the Lord Jesus be with 48all. Amen.
