Revelation 22

1And he showed me a river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and the Lamb.

2In the middle of its street, on either side of the river, was the tree of life, bearing twelve fruits and yielding its fruit each month, and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

3And no curse will be any longer, and the throne of God and the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will serve him.

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

5Night will be no more, and they will need no lamplight or sunlight, because the Lord God will shine on them, and they will reign for the ages of the ages.

6And he said to me, "These words are faithful and true. The Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon happen."

7Behold, I am coming soon. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.

8I too, John, hearing and beholding these things, as soon as I heard and beheld, fell down to worship before the feet of the angel showing me these things.

9And he said to me, "See that you don't! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets and those who keep the words of this book. Worship God."

10And he says to me, "Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near."

11Let the wrongdoer do wrong still, and let the filthy be defiled still, let the righteous do righteousness still, and let the holy be sanctified still.

12See, I am coming quickly, and my reward is with me to repay each one according to his work.

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

14Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they will have authority over the tree of life and may enter through the gates into the city.

15Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the fornicators, the murderers, the idolaters, and all lovers and doers of falsehood.

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

17And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come." Let the one who hears say, "Come." Let the thirsty come, and let the one who desires take the water of life freely.

18I testify to every hearer of the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues written in this book.

19And if anyone takes away from the words of this prophetic book, God will take away his share from the tree of life, from the holy city, and from the things written in this book.

20The one who testifies these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon." Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!

21The grace of the Lord Jesus be with everyone.
