Revelation 22:16

14 ^aBlessed are those who¹ do His commandments, that they may have the right ^bto the tree of life, ^cand may enter through the gates into the city.

15 But ^aoutside are ^bdogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.

16 ^a“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. ^bI am the Root and the Offspring of David, ^cthe Bright and Morning Star.”

17 And the Spirit and ^athe bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” ^bAnd let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

A Warning

18 ¹For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: ^aIf anyone adds to these things,² 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, ^aGod shall take away his part from the² Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Revelation 22:17 >>

Revelation 22:15 For without [are] dogs. In an oriental city the dogs, an unclean animal, are seen in great numbers in the streets, and are a disagreeable feature. These are taken to represent one type of sinners. Others with different characteristics are also given. And sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. All are "without". None of them ever pass through the portals of the New Jerusalem.
