22:12 (Look! I am coming soon,
and my reward is with me to pay 1 each one according to what he has done!
22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the first and the last,
the beginning and the end!) 2
22:14 Blessed are those who wash their robes so they can have access 3 to the tree of life and can enter into the city by the gates. 22:15 Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers 4 and the sexually immoral, and the murderers, and the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood! 5
22:16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star!” 6 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say: “Come!” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wants it take the water of life free of charge.
22:18 I testify to the one who hears the words of the prophecy contained in this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described 7 in this book. 22:19 And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life 8 and in the holy city that are described in this book.
