The American Standard renders the first part of this verse, "Blessed are they that wash their robes." Such would refer to the washing in Christ's blook (Revelation 1:5) which can only be ours if we keep his commandments, so the rendering is basically the same. It is by such continual obedience, or washing, that we will gain access to the tree of eternal life and an entrance into the eternal city.
