And he showed me a pure river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb,

2 Between the street of the city and the river, on one side and on the other, is the tree of life, hearing twelve kinds of fruit, and yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

in the middle of her street. And on either side of the river was a tree of life producing twelve fruits, yielding each month's fruit monthly; and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

3 And there shall be no more curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will serve him;

There will be no accursed thing there, but the throne of God and of the Lamb are in her, and His slaves will minister to Him.

4 and they will see his face, and his name will be upon their foreheads.

They will see His face and His name is on their foreheads.

5 And there will be no night, and no need of lamp or light, for the Lord God will shine upon them; and they will reign for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)

Night will not exist there and they will need neither lamp nor sunlight, because the Lord God illuminates them. And they will reign forever and ever. (aiōn g165)

6 And he said unto me, These words are faithful and true; and the Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent his angel to show to his servants what must shortly come to pass.

Then He says to me: “These words are faithful and true. The Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent His angel to show to His slaves the things that must shortly take place.

7 And behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book.

Take note, I am coming swiftly! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

8 And I John am he who heard and saw these things; and when I had heard and when I had seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.

Now I, John, who heard and saw these things, when I had heard and seen I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things,

9 And he saith to me, See thou do it not; I am a fellow-servant of thee, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book; worship God.

but he says to me: “Don't! I am your fellow slave and of your brothers the prophets, those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!”

10 And he saith to me, Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book; the time is at hand.

Then he says to me: “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.

11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still, and he that is filthy, let him be filthy still; and he that is righteous, let him do righteousness still, and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

He who acts unjustly let him act unjustly still, and let the filthy one be filthy still, and let the righteous one still practice righteousness, and let the holy one still be sanctified.”

12 Behold, I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to give to every one according as his work is.

“Take note, I am coming swiftly, and my reward is with me to give to each one according to his work.

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

I am the Alpha and the Omega, beginning and end, the First and the Last.”

14 Blessed are they that wash their robes, that they may have a right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city.

(Blessed are those who do His commands, so that they may have the right to the tree of life, even to enter through the gates into the city.

15 Without are dogs, and sorcerers, and fornicators, and murderers, and idolaters, and whoever loveth and practiseth falsehood.

Outside are the ‘dogs’ and the sorcerers and the fornicators and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices a lie.)

16 I Jesus sent my angel to testify these things to you for the churches. I am the shoot and the offspring of David, the bright morning-star.

“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things to you, in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright morning Star.

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come! And let him that heareth say, Come! And let him that thirsteth come! Whoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

Both the Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come!’ And let whoever hears say, ‘Come!’ And let whoever thirsts come; whoever wants to, let him take the water of life free of charge.

18 I testify to every one that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any one shall add to them, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book;

“I myself testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If any one adds to them, may God add to him the seven plagues written in this book!

19 and if any one shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written of in this book.

And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, may God remove his share from the tree of life and out of the Holy City, that stand written in this book!”

20 He who testifieth these things saith, Yea, I come quickly. Amen; come, Lord Jesus!

He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming swiftly!” Oh yes! Come, Sovereign Jesus!

21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints. Amen.
