Откровение 22:12

And--in none of our manuscripts. But A, B, Vulgate, Syriac, Coptic, and CYPRIAN omit it. behold, I come quickly--(Compare Rev 22:7). my reward is with me-- (Isa 40:10; Isa 62:11). to give--Greek, "to render." every man--Greek, "to each." shall be--so B in MAI. But B in TISCHENDORF, and A, Syriac, read, "is."

In this chapter we have, I. A further description of the heavenly state of the church (Rev 22:1-5). II. A confirmation of this and all the other visions of this book (Rev 22:6-19). III. The conclusion (Rev 22:20, Rev 22:21).

22:12 Christ is coming soon . . . to repay all people, not just on the basis of their profession of faith, but according to their deeds (see 2:23; 11:18; 14:13; 20:12-13; see also Prov 24:12; Matt 16:27; 2 Cor 5:10). Not every statement of belief is genuine (John 2:23-25); faith will show itself in actions (Jas 2:14-26). We are indeed saved by the grace and power of God in Christ. Our works do not save us, but they do indicate the seriousness of our confession and provide a just basis for our ultimate reward or punishment.
