in their foreheads. |

them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. |

God. |

of this book: for the time is at hand.

And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with
me, to give every man according as his work shall be. |

For I testify unto every man that heareth the words
of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto
these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that
are written in this book: |
19
|
And if any man shall take away from the words of the
book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out
of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from
the things which are written in this book.
