「看哪，我必快來！凡遵守這書上預言的有福了！」

這些事是我－約翰所聽見、所看見的；我既聽見、看見了，就在指示我的天使腳前俯伏要拜他。

他對我說：「千萬不可！我與你和你的弟兄眾先知，並那些守這書上言語的人，同是作僕人的。你要敬拜上帝。」

他又對我說：「不可封了這書上的預言，因為日期近了。

不義的，叫他仍舊不義；污穢的，叫他仍舊污穢；為義的，叫他仍舊為義；聖潔的，叫他仍舊聖潔。」

「看哪，我必快來！賞罰在我，要照各人所行的報應他。

我是阿拉法，我是俄梅戛；我是首先的，我是末後的；我是初，我是終。」

那些洗淨自己衣服的有福了！可得權柄能到生命樹那裏，也能從門進城。

城外有那些犬類、行邪術的、淫亂的、殺人的、拜偶像的，並一切喜好說謊言、編造虛謊的。

「我－耶穌差遣我的使者為眾教會將這些事向你們證明。我是大衛的根，又是他的後裔。我是明亮的晨星。」

[聖]靈和新婦都說：「來！」聽見的人也該說：「來！」口渴的人也當來；願意的，都可以白白取生命的水[喝]。

我向一切聽見這書上預言的作見證，若有人在這預言上加添甚麼，上帝必將寫在這書上的災禍加在他身上；

這書上的預言，若有人刪去甚麼，上帝必從這書上所寫的生命樹和聖城刪去他的分。

證明這事的說：「是了，我必快來！」阿們！主耶穌啊，我願你來！

願主耶穌的恩惠[常]與眾聖徒同在。阿們！
