Revelation 22:19

Revelation 22:19

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.

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 be¹ with you all. Amen.

book—None of our manuscripts read this. A, B, Aleph, Vulgate, Syriac, and Coptic read, "(take away his part, that is, portion) from the tree of life," that is, shall deprive him of participation in the tree of life.

and from the things—so Vulgate. But A, B, Aleph, Syriac, Coptic, and ANDREAS omit "and"; then "which are written in this book" will refer to "the holy city and the tree of life." As in the beginning of this book (Revelation 1:3) a blessing was promised to the devout, obedient student of it, so now at its close a curse is denounced against those who add to, or take from, it.
