Berean Standard Bible

“And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and the holy city, which are described in this book.”

Revelation 22:19

Save as image

Study note

Revelation closes with a solemn warning, in a style like ancient covenant documents that guarded their text against tampering. The preceding verse warned against adding to the book; this one warns against taking away.
