Revelation 22

1 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

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, clear as crystal. It was flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb

2 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;

through the middle of the city's street. On each side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, and it bears its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

3 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,

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

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

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

5 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)

There will be no more night; they will have no need for the light of a lamp or sunlight because the Lord God will shine on them. They will reign forever and ever. (aiōn g165)

6 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.

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 what must happen soon.”

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

“Look! I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who obeys the words of the prophecy of this book.”

8 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;

I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. When I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing me these things.

9 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.”

He said to me, “Do not do that! I am a fellow servant with you, with your brothers the prophets, and with those who obey the words of this book. Worship God!”

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

He said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.

11 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.

The one who is unrighteous, let him continue to do unrighteousness. The one who is morally filthy, let him continue to be morally filthy. The one who is righteous, let him continue to do what is righteous. The one who is holy, let him continue to be holy.”

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

“Look! I am coming soon. My reward is with me, to pay back each one according to what he has done.

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

I am the alpha and the omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

14 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;

Blessed are those who wash their robes so that they will have the right to eat from the tree of life and to enter the city through the gates.

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

Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

16 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!

I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”

17 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.

The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come!” Let the one who hears say, “Come!” Whoever is thirsty, let him come, and whoever desires it, let him freely have the water of life.

18 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,

I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues that are written about in this book.

19 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.”

If anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city that are written about in this book.

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

The one who testifies to these things says, “Yes! I am coming soon.” Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!

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

May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with everyone. Amen.
