Revelation 22
- 1And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, coming out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
- 2In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve kinds of fruit, and yielded its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
- 3And there will be no more curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will serve him.
- 4And they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
- 5And there will be no night there. They need no lamp, neither light of the sun. For the Lord God gives them light, and they will reign forever and ever.
- 6And he said to me, These sayings are faithful and true. And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to show his servants the things which must shortly be done.
- 7I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
- 8And 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.
- 9Then he says to me, Do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and a fellow servant of your brothers and sisters the prophets, and of those who keep the sayings of this book. Worship God.
- 10And he says to me, Do not seal the sayings of the prophecy of this book. For the time is near.
- 11He who is unjust, let him be unjust still. He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous, let him be righteous still. He who is holy, let him be holy still.
- 12I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to give to each person according to their work.
- 13I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
- 14Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
- 15For outside are dogs, and sorcerers, and sexually immoral people, and murderers, and idol worshipers, and whoever loves and makes a lie.
- 16I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
- 17And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him who hears say, Come. And let him who is thirsty come. And whoever wants to, let him take the water of life freely.
- 18For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book.
- 19And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will 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.
- 20He who testifies these things says, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
- 21The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
