Verse 14 is found in chapter 22 of Revelation. Those who wash their robes have the right to the tree of life and may enter through the gates of the city. Outside remain those who represent practices of impurity, violence, deception, and idolatry. The image recalls both the white garments of Revelation and the tree of life in Genesis. Entry into the city is presented as participation in God’s restored life, while exclusion functions as a definitive eschatological contrast.
