10uAnd he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, vfor the time is at hand. 11He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him 5be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”

Jesus Testifies to the Churches

12“And behold, I am coming quickly, and wMy reward is with Me, xto give to every one according to his work. 13yI am the Alpha and the Omega, the 6Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”

14zBlessed are those who 7do His commandments, that they may have the right ato the tree of life, band may enter through the gates into the city. 158But coutside are ddogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.

16e“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. fI am the Root and the Offspring of David, gthe Bright and Morning Star.”

17And the Spirit and hthe bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” iAnd let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

A Warning

189For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: jIf anyone adds to these things, 1God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, kGod 2shall take away his part from the 3Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

I Am Coming Quickly

20He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”

Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

21The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be 4with you all. Amen.
