Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may
have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the
city.

Doing
His commandments does not earn us eternal life, but it is evidence that we have
been granted eternal life. Besides, there is an inherent blessing in
doing His commandments, because they are good and right for us. (DG)

Regarding
the phrase those who do His commandments
some translations have those who have washed their robes instead. The
difference is between two ancient Greek words:
HOIPLUNONTESTASSTOLAS (washed their robes) or
HOIPOIOUNTESTASENTOLAS (do His
commandments) (DG)
