Revelation 22:16-21

Jesus Is Coming

16 h "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things i for the churches. I am j the root and k the descendant of David, l the bright morning star."

17 The Spirit and m the Bride say, "Come." And let the one who hears say, "Come." And n let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the o water of life without price.

18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: p 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 q the tree of life and in r the holy city, which are described in this book.

20 He who testifies to these things says, "Surely s I am coming soon." Amen. t Come, Lord Jesus!

21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. 1 Amen.
