1 He showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb, 2 in the middle of its street. On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will serve him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 There will be no night, and they need no lamp light or sun light; for the Lord God will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever.
6 He said to me, "These words are faithful and true. The Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent his angel to show to his bondservants the things which must happen soon."
7 "Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book."
8 Now I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. When I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who had shown me these things. 9 He said to me, "You must not do that! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers, the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God." 10 He said to me, "Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand. 11 He who acts unjustly, let him act unjustly still. He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous, let him do righteousness still. He who is holy, let him be holy still."
12 "Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. 14 Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city. 15 Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. 16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things to you for the assemblies. I am the root and the offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star."
17 The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" He who hears, let him say, "Come!" He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely.
18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book. 19 If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book. 20 He who testifies these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon."
Amen! Yes, come, Lord Jesus!
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints. Amen.
1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of her plaza and on either side of the river [was the] tree of life, which brings forth twelve [manner of] fruits, yielding her fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree [are] for the healing of the Gentiles.
3 And there shall no longer be any cursed thing; but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in her; and his servants shall serve him;
4 and they shall see his face; and his name [shall be] in their foreheads.
5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no lamp neither light of the sun; for the Lord God shall give them light; and they shall reign for ever and ever.
6 And he said unto me, These words [are] faithful and true; and the Lord God of the holy prophets has sent his angel to show unto his servants the things which it is necessary that they be done quickly.
7 Behold, I come quickly; blessed [is] he that keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.
8 And I, John, saw these things and heard [them]. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.
9 Then he said unto me, See [thou do it] not: for I am thy fellowservant and with thy brethren the prophets and with those who keep the words of this book: worship God.
10 And he said unto me, do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is at hand.
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still; and he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; and he that is righteous, let him be justified still; and let the saint be sanctified still.
12 And, behold, I come quickly, and my reward [is] with me, to give each one according as his work shall be.
13 I AM the Alpha and the Omega, beginning and end, the first and the last.
14 Blessed [are] those who do his commandments that their power [and authority] might be in the tree of life and they may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 But outside [are] the dogs and the sorcerers and the fornicators and the murderers and the idolaters and whosoever loves and makes a lie.
16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I AM the root and the offspring of David [and] the bright and morning star.
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that hears say, Come. And let him that is thirsty come; and whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely.
18 For I testify unto everyone that hears the words of the prophecy of this book, If anyone shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book;
19 and if anyone shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life and out of the holy city and [from] the things which are written in this book.
20 He who testifies these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.
