6 And he said to me, “These words are trustworthy and
true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has
sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.”
7 “And behold, I am coming soon. Blessed is the one who
keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.” 8 I,
John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard
and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who
showed them to me, 9 but he said to me, “You must not do
that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the
prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship
God.” 10 And he said to me, “Do not seal up the words of
the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. 11 Let
the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the
righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.”
12 “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing My recompense
with Me, to repay each one for what he has done. 13 I am
the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and
the end.” 14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, so
that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may
enter the city by the gates. 15 Outside are the dogs and
sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and
everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
16 “I, Jesus, have 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.” 17 The Spirit and the
Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let
the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water
of life without price. 18 I warn everyone who hears the
words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God
will add to him the plagues described in this book, 19
and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this
prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in
the holy city, which are described in this book. 20 He
who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.”
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! 21 The grace of the Lord Jesus
be with all. Amen.
