7 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for ^athe marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.”

8 And ^ato her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, ^bfor the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

10 And ^aI fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, ^b“See that you do not do that! I am your ^cfellow servant, and of your brethren ^dwho have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the ^etestimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
