10. Then he said to me, "Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy contained in this scroll, because the time is near.
11. Let those who do wrong keep doing what is wrong. Let the filthy still be filthy. Let those who are righteous keep doing what is right. Let those who are holy still be holy.
12. "Look! I’m coming soon. My reward is with me, to repay all people as their actions deserve.
13. I am the alpha and the omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
14. Favored are those who wash their robes so that they may have the right of access to the tree of life and may enter the city by the gates.
15. Outside are the dogs, the drug users and spell-casters, those who commit sexual immorality, the murderers, the idolaters, and all who love and practice deception.
16. "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to bear witness to all of you about these things for the churches. I’m the root and descendant of David, the bright morning star.
17. The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ Let the one who hears say, ‘Come!’ And let the one who is thirsty come! Let the one who wishes receive life-giving water as a gift."
18. Now I bear witness to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy contained in this scroll: If anyone adds to them, God will add to that person the plagues that are written in this scroll.
19. If anyone takes away from the words of this scroll of prophecy, God will take away that person’s share in the tree of life and the holy city, which are described in this scroll.
20. The one who bears witness to these things says, "Yes, I’m coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
21. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.
