Revelation 22

1 He showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,

And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, issuing out of the throne of God, and of the Lamb.

2 in the middle of its street. On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

In the midst of the broad street, and on each side of the river, was the tree of life, producing twelve kinds of fruit-- producing its fruit in every month: and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

3 There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will serve 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 borne upon their foreheads.

5 There will be no night, and they need no lamp light or sun light; for the Lord God will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever. (aiōn g165)

And there shall be no more night; and they have no need of a lamp, nor of the light of the sun; because the Lord God shall enlighten them: and they shall reign for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)

6 He said to me, “These words are faithful and true. The Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent his angel to show to his bondservants the things which must happen soon.”

And he said to me, These words are faithful and true. And the Lord God of the holy prophets, has sent his holy angel to show his servants what must quickly be done.

7 “Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.

8 Now I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. When I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who had shown me these things.

And I, John, saw and heard these things, and when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.

9 He said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers, the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”

And he said to me, See you do it not: I am a fellow-servant with you, and of your brethren, the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book: worship God.

10 He said to me, “Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.

And he said to me, Seal not up the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is near.

11 He who acts unjustly, let him act unjustly still. He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous, let him do righteousness still. He who is holy, let him be holy still.”

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

12 “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.

Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me: I will recompense to every man according as his works shall be.

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--the Beginning and the End: the First and the Last.

14 Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.

(Happy are they who keep his commandments, that they may have the privilege to eat of the tree of life; and they shall enter by the gates into the city.

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

Without are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one who loves and invents a lie.)

16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things to you for the assemblies. I am the root and the offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”

I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things to you, in the congregations. I am the Root and the Offspring of David; the bright and the Morning Star.

17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” He who hears, let him say, “Come!” He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely.

And the Spirit and the Bride say, Come: and let him that hears, say, Come: and let him that is thirsty, come: whoever will, let him take of the water of life freely.

18 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 which are written in this book.

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

19 If anyone takes 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 in this book.

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

20 He who testifies these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen! Yes, come, Lord Jesus!

He who testifies these things, says, Surely, I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

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

May the favor of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints!
