There is, of course, some textual uncertainty over this verse.
Perhaps ESTAI was a scribal error for ESONTAI, whilst their attention
was fixed on MAKARIOI hOI POIOUNTES TAS ENTOLAS AUTOU (Byzantine text)
instead of the above-quoted (Aleph and A).
That aside, maybe we can translate
"Blessed are they who wash their garments [sc. in the Blood of the
Lamb], that it [sc. the act of washing] shall be their passport to
the tree of life, etc."
Just a suggestion
