The correct reading:

I am Alpha and Omega, [the] beginning and [the] ending, saith Lord the God, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

Rev 1:8 WEB
8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,[a] ” says the Lord God,[b] “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

Footnotes​

  1. 1:8 TR adds “the Beginning and the End”
  2. 1:8 TR omits “God”
The NASB footnotes "is to come" with the better "is coming" because the verb is in the present, not future tense.

TR, Revelation 1:8, omits, "God."
TR, Revelation 22:18, has "book of life" for "tree of life."

What it amounts to, just over 50% of mss omit, αρχη και τελος.
And just under 50% of mss keeps the longer reading.
I am persuaded to go with the longer reading.

That is the book I took the apparatus from. I know next to nothing about Textual Criticism of Revelation. I will show a picture of what the Author says at the beginning when I get home.
