NASB Bible

Revelation 22

The River and the Tree of Life

1

Then  ahe showed me a  briver of the  cwater of life,  1clear  das crystal, coming from the throne of God and of  2the Lamb,

2

in the middle of  aits street.  bOn either side of the river was  cthe tree of life, bearing twelve  1kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

3

 aThere will no longer be any curse; and  bthe throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will  cserve Him;

4

they will  asee His face, and His  bname will be on their  cforeheads.

5

And  athere will no longer be any night; and they  1will not have need  bof the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will  creign forever and ever.

6

And  ahe said to me, " bThese words are faithful and true"; and the Lord, the  cGod of the spirits of the prophets,  dsent His angel to show to His bond-servants the things which must soon take place.

7

"And behold,  aI am coming quickly.  bBlessed is he who  1heeds  cthe words of the prophecy of this book."

8

 aI, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw,  bI fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things.

9

But  ahe *said to me, "Do not do that. I am a  bfellow servant of yours and of your brethren the prophets and of those who  1heed the words of  cthis book. Worship God."

The Final Message

10

And he *said to me, " aDo not seal up  bthe words of the prophecy of this book,  cfor the time is near.

11

aLet the one who does wrong, still do wrong; and the one who is filthy, still be filthy; and let the one who is righteous, still practice righteousness; and the one who is holy, still keep himself holy."

12

"Behold,  aI am coming quickly, and My  breward is with Me,  cto render to every man  1according to what he has done.

13

"I am the  aAlpha and the Omega,  bthe first and the last,  cthe beginning and the end."

14

Blessed are those who  awash their robes, so that they may have the right to  bthe tree of life, and may  center by the  dgates into the city.

15

 aOutside are the  bdogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying.

16

aI, Jesus, have sent  bMy angel to testify to you these things  1 cfor the churches. I am  dthe root and the  edescendant of David, the bright  fmorning star."

17

The  aSpirit and the  bbride say, "Come." And let the one who hears say, "Come." And  clet the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the  dwater of life without cost.

18

I testify to everyone who hears  athe words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone  badds to them, God will add to him  cthe plagues which are written in  dthis book;

19

and if anyone  atakes away from the  bwords of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from  cthe tree of life and  1from the holy city,  dwhich are written in this book.

20

He who  atestifies to these things says, "Yes,  bI am coming quickly." Amen.  cCome, Lord Jesus.

21

 aThe grace of the Lord Jesus be with  1all. Amen.
