Revelation 22

1 The angel showed me the river of water of life, crystal-clear, flowing out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,

And he showed me [the] river of [the] water of life, radiant as crystal, going forth out of the throne of God and of the Lamb

2 right in the middle of the main street of the city. On both sides of the river was the tree of life, producing twelve crops of fruit, one every month. The leaves of the tree were used to heal people from all nations.

in the midst of its street, and of the river on this side and on that—[the] Tree of Life, producing twelve fruits, yielding its fruit according to each month, and the leaves of the tree [are] for the healing of the nations;

3 There will no longer be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be there in the city, and his servants will worship him.

and there will no longer be any curse, and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His servants will serve Him,

4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.

and they will see His face, and His Name [is] on their foreheads,

5 There will be no more night, and they will not need the light of a lamp, or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will give them light. They shall reign for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)

and there will be no night there, and they have no need of [the] light of a lamp and of [the] light of [the] sun, because the LORD God gives them light, and they will reign through the ages of the ages. (aiōn g165)

6 The angel told me, “These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord God, who gave his Spirit to the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants what is about to happen.”

And he said to me, “These words [are] steadfast and true, and the LORD God of the holy prophets sent His messenger to show to His servants the things that must come quickly.

7 “I am coming soon! Blessed are those who obey the prophetic words of this book.”

Behold, I come quickly; blessed [is] he who is keeping the words of the prophecy of this scroll.”

8 I am John who heard and saw all this. When I heard and saw them, I fell down at the feet of the angel who had shown me these things to worship him.

And I, John, am he who is seeing these things and hearing, and when I heard and beheld, I fell down to worship before the feet of the messenger who is showing me these things;

9 He told me, “Don't do that! I am one of God's servants just as you are, together with your brothers the prophets, and those who obey the words of this book. Worship God!”

and he says to me, “Behold—No! For I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers the prophets, and of those keeping the words of this scroll; worship God.”

10 Then he told me, “Don't seal up the words of prophecy of this book and keep them secret, for the time is near.

And He says to me, “You may not seal the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is near.

11 Whoever doesn't do what is right, let them stay that way. Whoever is impure, let them stay that way. Whoever does what is right, let them stay that way. Whoever is holy, let them stay that way.

The [one] being unrighteous—let him be unrighteous still; and the filthy—let him be filthy still; and the righteous—let him do righteousness still; and the holy—let him be holy still.

12 I am coming soon, and I am bringing my reward to give to everybody based on what they've done.

Behold, I come quickly, and My reward [is] with Me, to render to each as his work will be;

13 I am the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

I am the Alpha and the Omega—the Beginning and End—the First and the Last.

14 Blessed are those who wash their robes so that they have the right to the tree of life, and can enter into the city through the gates.

Blessed are those washing their robes that the authority will be theirs to the Tree of Life, and they may enter into the city by the gates;

15 Those outside the city are dogs, those who practice witchcraft, those who are sexually immoral, those who murder, those who worship idols, and all those who love and invent lies.

and outside [are] the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the whoremongers, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and everyone cherishing and doing falsehood.

16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony to share with the churches. I am both the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”

I, Jesus, sent My messenger to testify to you these things concerning the assemblies; I am the root and the offspring of David, the radiant morning star!

17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” Whoever hears this, say, “Come.” Whoever is thirsty, come, and whoever wants to, freely drink of the water of life.

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come! And he who is hearing—let him say, Come! And he who is thirsting—let him come; and he who is willing—let him take the water of life freely.

18 I solemnly declare to everyone who hears the prophetic words of this book that if anyone adds to them then God will add to them the plagues described in this book.

For I testify to everyone hearing the words of the prophecy of this scroll, if anyone may add to these, God will add to him the plagues that have been written in this scroll,

19 If anyone takes away the prophetic words of this book, God will take away their share of the tree of life and of the holy city that are described in this book.

and if anyone may take away from the words of the scroll of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the Scroll of Life, and out of the holy city, and the things that have been written in this scroll.”

20 He who confirms all this says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen, come, Lord Jesus.

The [One] testifying [to] these things says, “Yes, I come quickly!” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!

21 May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with the believers. Amen.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with all [[the holy ones. Amen.]]
