Rev 22:15 | TNotes | STEP | 22:15 This verse again lists those who are not admitted to contrast with those admitted in 22:14 (see 21:8 , 27 ; 22:11 ). These unrepentant sinners remain outside the city ; it is another warning to those who do not repent that they will not be allowed to enter the city of God (22:14 ). • The reference to sinners as dogs was a familiar Jewish designation for rejected outsiders (see Matt 7:6 ; Phil 3:2 ; also 2 Sam 3:8 ; 2 Kgs 8:13 ); Jews used this term to refer to Gentiles (see Mark 7:26-28 ).

These unrepentant sinners remain outside the city; it is another warning to those who do not repent that they will not be allowed to enter the city of God (22:14 ^f).
