22:18-19 A warning not to
tamper with the Book of Revelation, whose contents were carefully dictated by
heavenly visions (1:11). Strictly speaking, this is not a general warning
against tampering with the Bible, though that, too, is certainly wrong. Moreover,
it does not exclude the possibility that there may be Christian revelation outside
the books of Scripture, such as in unwritten traditions handed down by the
apostles (1 Cor 11:2; 2 Thess 2:15). Moses used similar words to caution Israel
against adding or subtracting from the Book of Deuteronomy (4:2). (The
Ignatius Catholic Study Bible, ed. Scott Hahn and Curtis J. Mitch [San
Francisco: Ignatius Press, 2024], 2275)
