| I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. | “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “the one who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” |
| As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. | I reprove and discipline all those whom I love. Therefore, be sincere in your desire to repent. |
|
| And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. | Behold, I am coming soon, and I will bring with me my reward to repay everyone as his deeds deserve. |
| And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. | Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever.” |
| Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. | Behold, I am standing at the door, knocking. If one of you hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with that person and that person with me. |
| He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. | The one who gives this testimony says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! |
| Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. | I am coming soon. Hold fast to what you already have so that no one may rob you of your crown. |
| The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. | The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you all. |
| And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. | And I heard a loud voice proclaim from the throne: “Behold, God’s dwelling is with mankind; he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and he will be their God, God-with-them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will no longer be death. Neither will there be any mourning or crying or pain, for the old order has passed away.” |
| He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. | Anyone who is victorious will be dressed like these in white robes, and I shall not blot his name from the book of life. Rather, I shall acknowledge it in the presence of my Father and his angels. |
