Translation note

The one seated on the throne is speaking, as in 1:8; that is why it is not marked in purple (in 22:13 Jesus says it). It recalls Isaiah 55:1.

The context

5And the one who sits on the throne said, “Look, I am making all things new.” And he says, “Write, because these words are faithful and true.”

6 · This verse (above)

7The one who conquers will inherit these things, and I will be his God, and he will be my son.
