Revelation 22:16

Epilogue: Invitation And Warning

I am the Root (the Source, the Life) and the Offspring of David, the radiant and bright Morning Star.” ¹⁷ The [Holy] Spirit and the bride (the church, believers) say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take and drink the water of life without cost.
