10And he said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near! 11The one who does evil, let him do evil still, and the defiled, let him be defiled still, and the righteous, let him practice righteousness still, and the holy, let him be holy still.”

12“Behold, I am coming quickly, and my reward is with me, to repay each one according to what his deeds are! 13I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”

14Blessed are the ones who wash their robes, so that their authority will be over the tree of life and they may enter into the city through the gates. 15Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the sexually immoral people and the murderers and the idolaters and everyone who loves and who practices falsehood.

16“I, Jesus, 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.”

An Invitation to Respond

17And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And the one who hears, let him say, “Come!” And the one who is thirsty, let him come. The one who wants, let him take the water of life freely.f

A Final Warning

18I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues written in this book. 19And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away his share of the tree of life and from the holy city that are written in this book.

20The one who testifies about these things says, “Yes, I am coming quickly!” Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!

21The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.g
