The Final Message: Come

10And he *said to me, “aDo not seal up bthe words of the prophecy of this book, cfor the time is near.

11“aLet the one who does unrighteousness, still do unrighteousness; and the one who is filthy, still be filthy; and let the one who is righteous, still do righteousness; and the one who is holy, still keep himself holy.”

12“Behold, aI am coming quickly, and My breward is with Me, cto render to every man 1according to his work.

13“I am the aAlpha and the Omega, bthe first and the last, cthe beginning and the end.”

14Blessed are those who awash their robes, so that they may have the authority to bthe tree of life and may center by the dgates into the city.

15aOutside are the bdogs and the sorcerers and the sexually immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying.

16“aI, Jesus, sent bMy angel to bear witness to you of these things 1cfor the churches. I am dthe root and the edescendant of David, the bright fmorning star.”

17And the aSpirit and the bbride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And clet the one who is thirsty come. Let the one who wishes receive the dwater of life without cost.

18I bear witness to everyone who hears athe words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone badds to them, God will add to him cthe plagues which are written in dthis book.

19And if anyone atakes away from the bwords of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from cthe tree of life and 1from the holy city, dwhich are written in this book.

20He who abears witness to these things says, “Yes, bI am coming quickly.” Amen. cCome, Lord Jesus.

21aThe grace of the Lord Jesus be with 1all. Amen.
