Revelation 22:13-15
New Catholic Bible
13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.’
14 “Blessed[a] are those who wash their robes clean so that they will be free to eat from the tree of life and may enter the city by the gates. 15 Others must remain outside: the dogs,[b] the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices deceit.
