TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.

    3And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.

    4And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.

    5And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.

    6For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

    8And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.

    3And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

    4Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.
