Revelation 22

Paradise Restored

1 And he showed me the river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming out from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 in the middle of its street, and on both sides of the river*Literally "of the river from here and from there" is the tree of life, producing twelve fruits—yielding its fruit according to every month—and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 3 And there will not be any curse any longer, and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his slaves will serve*Or "will worship" him, 4 and they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 And night will not exist any longer, and they will not have need of the light of a lamp and the light*Some manuscripts have "of the light" of the sun, because the Lord God will give light to them, and they will reign forever and ever*Literally "for the ages of the ages".
