1 THEN he showed me a river of water of life bright as crystal, issuing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

2 In the space between the street and the river, on this side and on that, grew trees of life bearing twelve kinds of fruit, and yielding their fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

3 There will no longer be any accursed thing. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it and his servants will worship him with holy rites.

4 They will see his face and his name will be on their foreheads.

5 There will not be night any more and they will have no need of lamplight or of sunlight; for the Lord God will shine upon them and they will be kings for the ages of the ages.
