22:1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb
22:2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
22:3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.
22:4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
22:5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.
22:6 The angel said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place.”
22:7 “Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book.”
22:8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me.
22:9 But he said to me, “Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers the prophets and of all who keep the words of this book. Worship God!”
22:10 Then he told me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, because the time is near.
22:11 Let him who does wrong continue to do wrong; let him who is vile continue to be vile; let him who does right continue to do right; and let him who is holy continue to be holy.”
22:12 “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.
22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
22:14 “Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.
22:15 Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
22:16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”
22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.
22:18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book.
22:19 And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
22:20 He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
22:21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.
22:1 And he showed me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb in the middle of its street.
22:2 And on this side and on that side of the river was the tree of life, producing twelve fruits, yielding its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
22:3 And there will no longer be a curse. And the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His slaves will serve Him;
22:4 And they will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads.
22:5 And night will be no more; and they have no need of the light of a lamp and of the light of the sun, for the Lord God will shine upon them; and they will reign forever and ever.
22:6 And he said to me, These words are faithful and true; and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent His angel to show to His slaves the things which must quickly take place.
22:7 And behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this scroll.
22:8 And I John am he who hears and sees these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.
22:9 And he said to me, Do not do that! I am your fellow slave and a fellow slave of your brothers the prophets and of those who keep the words of this scroll. Worship God.
22:10 And he said to me, Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this scroll, for the time is near.
22:11 Let him who does unrighteousness do unrighteousness still; and let him who is filthy be filthy still; and let him who is righteous do righteousness still; and let him who is holy be holy still.
22:12 Behold, I come quickly, and My reward is with Me to render to each one as his work is.
22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
22:14 Blessed are those who wash their robes that they may have right to the tree of life and may enter by the gates into the city.
22:15 Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the fornicators and the murderers and the idolaters and everyone who loves and makes a lie.
22:16 I Jesus have sent My angel to testify to you these things for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright morning star.
22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come! And let him who hears say, Come! And let him who is thirsty come; let him who wills take the water of life freely.
22:18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this scroll;
22:19 And if anyone takes away from the words of the scroll 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 scroll.
22:20 He who testifies these things says, Yes, I come quickly. Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
22:21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints. Amen.
