Then ahe showed
me a briver
of the cwater
of life
, 1clear
das crystal
, coming
from the throne
of God
and of 2the Lamb
,
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
.
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;
they will asee His face
, and His bname
will be on their cforeheads
.
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
.
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
.
"And behold, aI am coming
quickly
. bBlessed
is he who 1heeds
cthe words
of the prophecy
of this
book
."
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
.
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
."
And he *said to me, " aDo not seal
up bthe words
of the prophecy
of this
book
, cfor the time
is near
.
" 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
."
"Behold, aI am coming
quickly
, and My breward
is with Me, cto render
to every
man
1according
to what
he has
done
.
"I am the aAlpha and the Omega
, bthe first
and the last
, cthe beginning
and the end
."
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
.
aOutside are the bdogs
and the sorcerers
and the immoral
persons
and the murderers
and the idolaters
, and everyone
who loves
and practices
lying
.
" 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
."
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
.
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
;
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
.
He who atestifies to these
things
says
, "Yes
, bI am coming
quickly
." Amen
. cCome
, Lord
Jesus
.
aThe grace of the Lord
Jesus
be with 1all
. Amen.
