Then (the angel) showed me a river of the water of life , as clear as crystal , flowing from the throne - of God and of the Lamb
down the middle of the main street of (the city). - On either side ... ... of the river stood a tree of life , bearing twelve kinds of fruit (and) yielding (a fresh) - crop for each month. And the leaves of the tree (are) for (the) healing of the nations.
- No longer will there be any curse. - The throne - of God and of the Lamb will be within (the city) , and His - servants will worship Him.
- They will see His - face , and His - name (will be) on their - foreheads.
- There will be no more night (in the city) , and they will have no need for (the) light of a lamp (or) - of (the) sun. For (the) Lord - God will shine on them , and they will reign vvv vvv forever (and) ever.
Then (the angel) said to me , “ These - words (are) faithful and true. - The Lord , the God of the spirits of the prophets , has sent His - angel to show His - servants what must vvv soon take place. ”
“ - Behold , I am coming soon. Blessed (is) the (one who) keeps the words of prophecy in this book. ”
And I (am) John - , (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 shown me these things.
(But) he said to me , “ Do not do that ... ! I am a fellow servant with you and - your brothers the prophets , and with those who keep the words of this - book. Worship - God ! ”
Then he told me , “ vvv Do not seal up the words of prophecy in this - book , because the time is near.
{Let} the unrighteous continue to be unrighteous ... , and the vile continue to be vile ... ; {let} the righteous continue to practice ... righteousness , and the holy continue to be holy .... ”
“ Behold , I am coming soon , and My - reward (is) with Me , to give to each one according to ... what he has done.
I (am) the Alpha and the Omega , the First and the Last , the Beginning and the End. ”
Blessed (are) those who wash their - robes , so that they may have the right to the tree - of life and may enter ... the city by (its) gates.
(But) outside (are) the dogs , - the sorcerers , - the sexually immoral , - the murderers , - the idolaters , and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
“ I , Jesus , have sent My - angel to give you this testimony ... ... for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David , the - bright - Morning Star. ”
- The Spirit and the bride say , “ Come ! ” - {Let} the (one who) hears say , “ Come ! ” And {let} the (one who) is thirsty come , (and) the (one who) desires (the) water of life (drink) freely.
I testify to everyone who hears the words of prophecy in this - book : If anyone adds to (them) , - God will add to him the plagues - described in this - book.
And if anyone takes away from the words of this - book - of prophecy , - God will take away his - share in the tree - of life and - the - holy city , which (are) described in this - book.
He who testifies to these things says , “ Yes , I am coming soon. ” Amen. Come , Lord Jesus !
