 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
