¹¹“^aLet 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, ^aI am coming quickly, and My ^breward is with Me, ^cto render to every man ¹according to what he has done.

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 right to ^bthe tree of life, and may ^center by the ^dgates into the city.

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

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

¹⁷The ^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 take the ^dwater of life without cost.

¹⁸I testify 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 ^atestifies to these things says, “Yes, ^bI am coming quickly.” Amen. ^cCome, Lord Jesus.

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

Footnotes

*A star (*) is used to mark verbs that are historical presents in the Greek which have been translated with an English past tense in order to conform to modern usage. The translators recognized that in some contexts the present tense seems more unexpected and unjustified to the English reader than a past tense would have been. But Greek authors frequently used the present tense for the sake of heightened vividness, thereby transporting their readers in imagination to the actual scene at the time of occurence. However, the translators felt that it would be wise to change these historical presents to English past tenses.
