Revelation 22:15-17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
15 Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the unchaste, the murderers, the idol-worshipers, and all who love and practice deceit.(A)
16 “I, Jesus, sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the root and offspring of David,[a] the bright morning star.”(B)
17 The Spirit and the bride[b] say, “Come.” Let the hearer say, “Come.” Let the one who thirsts come forward, and the one who wants it receive the gift of life-giving water.(C)
