[1] Then he showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal,
flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb [2] through the middle of
the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life
with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month; and the
leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. [3] There shall no
more be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be
in it, and his servants shall worship him; [4] they shall see his face, and
his name shall be on their foreheads. [5] And night shall be no more; they
need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and
they shall reign for ever and ever. [6] And he said to me, "These words are
trustworthy and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets,
has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place. [7] And
behold, I am coming soon." Blessed is he who keeps the words of the
prophecy of this book. [8] I John am he who heard and saw these things. And
when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel
who showed them to me; [9] but he said to me, "You must not do that! I am a
fellow servant with you and your brethren the prophets, and with those who
keep the words of this book. Worship God." [10] And he said to me, "Do not
seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. [11]
Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the
righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy." [12] "Behold, I am
coming soon, bringing my recompense, to repay every one for what he has
done. [13] I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the
beginning and the end." [14] Blessed are those who wash their robes, that
they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the
city by the gates. [15] Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and fornicators
and murderers and idolaters, and every one who loves and practices
falsehood. [16] "I Jesus have sent my angel to you with this testimony for
the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright morning
star." [17] The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come." And let him who hears
say, "Come." And let him who is thirsty come, let him who desires take the
water of life without price. [18] I warn every one who hears the words of
the prophecy of this book: if any one adds to them, God will add to him the
plagues described in this book, [19] and if any one takes away from the
words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the
tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. [20]
He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming soon." Amen.
Come, Lord Jesus! [21] The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints.
Amen. [ (Revelation of John 22:22) The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all
the saints. Amen. ]
