Revelation 22:8-16

New International Version

⁸ I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things.^(A) And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet^(B) of the angel who had been showing them to me. ⁹ But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who keep the words of this scroll.^(C) Worship God!”^(D)

¹⁰ Then he told me, “Do not seal up^(E) the words of the prophecy of this scroll,^(F) because the time is near.^{(G) 11} Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong; let the vile person continue to be vile; let the one who does right continue to do right; and let the holy person continue to be holy.”^(H)

Epilogue: Invitation and Warning

¹² “Look, I am coming soon!^(I) My reward is with me,^(J) and I will give to each person according to what they have done.^{(K) 13} I am the Alpha and the Omega,^(L) the First and the Last,^(M) the Beginning and the End.^(N)

¹⁴ “Blessed are those who wash their robes,^(O) that they may have the right to the tree of life^(P) and may go through the gates^(Q) into the city.^{(R) 15} Outside^(S) are the dogs,^(T) those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

¹⁶ “I, Jesus,^(U) have sent my angel^(V) to give you^[a] this testimony for the churches.^(W) I am the Root^(X) and the Offspring of David,^(Y) and the bright Morning Star.”^(Z)
