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 shewed me a pure river of the water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding 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.

And in the midst of the street, and of the river, which ran on each side, was the tree of life, producing fruits twelve times in the year, yielding its different fruit every 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 every curse shall cease: and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and his servants shall serve Him.

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

And they shall see his face; and his name shall be 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 shall be no night there: and they have no need of a candle, nor of the light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light; and they shall reign for ever and ever. (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 unto me, These words are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets hath sent his angel to shew unto his servants what must soon be.

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

For behold I come quickly: happy is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book.

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 saw and heard these things: and when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel, who shewed 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 said unto me, See thou do it not: for I am a fellow-servant of thine, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of those who observe the words of this book: 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 said unto me, Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book; for 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.

Let him, that is unjust, be unjust still: and let him, that is filthy, be filthy still: and let him, that is righteous, be righteous still; and let him, that is holy, be holy still.

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

And behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to recompense every one according to his work.

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 the 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.

Happy are they that do his commandments, so shall they have a right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.

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.

But without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and every one that loveth and practiseth falshood.

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 have sent my messenger to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am both the root and the offspring of David, the bright and 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 let him that heareth say, Come. And let him, that thirsteth, Come. And let him, that desireth it, 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.

I testify to every one that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any one add to these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

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 any one take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things that are written in this book.

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

He who testifieth these things saith, I surely come quickly. Amen, even so come, Lord Jesus.

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

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
