10Then the angel told me, “Do not keep secret the words of prophecy in this book, because the time is near for all this to happen. 11Let whoever is doing evil continue to do evil. Let whoever is unclean continue to be unclean. Let whoever is doing right continue to do right. Let whoever is holy continue to be holy.”

12“Listen! I am coming soon! I will bring my reward with me, and I will repay each one of you for what you have done. 13I am the Alpha and the Omega, n the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

14“Blessed are those who wash their robes n so that they will receive the right to eat the fruit from the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. 15Outside the city are the evil people, those who do evil magic, who sin sexually, who murder, who worship idols, and who love lies and tell lies.

16“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to tell you these things for the churches. I am the descendant from the family of David, and I am the bright morning star.”

17The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” Let the one who hears this say, “Come!” Let whoever is thirsty come; whoever wishes may have the water of life as a free gift.

18I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to these words, God will add to that person the disasters written about in this book. 19And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away that one’s share of the tree of life and of the holy city, which are written about in this book.

20Jesus, the One who says these things are true, says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!

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