Revelation 22:16-21
New King James Version
16 (A)“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. (B)I am the Root and the Offspring of David, (C)the Bright and Morning Star.”
17 And the Spirit and (D)the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” (E)And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.
A Warning
18 [a]For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: (F)If anyone adds to these things, [b]God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, (G)God[c] shall take away his part from the [d]Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
I Am Coming Quickly
20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be [e]with you all. Amen.
