22:1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as
crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on each side of the
river, [was there] the tree of life, which bore twelve [kinds
of] fruits, [and] yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves
of the tree [were] for the healing of the nations.
22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and
of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name [shall be] in
their foreheads.
22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle,
neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light:
and they shall reign for ever and ever.
22:6 And he said to me, These sayings [are] faithful and true.
And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to show to
his servants the things which must shortly be done.
22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed [is] he that keepeth the
sayings of the prophecy of this book.
22:8 And I John saw these things, and heard [them]. And when I
had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of
the angel who showed me these things.
22:9 Then saith he to me, See [thou do it] not: for I am thy
fellow-servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them
who keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
22:10 And he saith to me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy
of this book: for the time is at hand.
22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he who is
filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let
him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy
still.
22:12 And behold, I come quickly; and my reward [is] with me, to
give to every man according as his work shall be.
22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first
and the last.
22:14 Blessed [are] they that do his commandments, that they may
have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the
gates into the city.
22:15 For without [are] dogs, and sorcerers, and lewd men, and
murderers, and idolaters, and whoever loveth and maketh a lie.
22:16 I Jesus have sent my angel to testify to you these things
in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David,
[and] the bright and morning-star.
22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that
heareth, say, Come. And let him that is thirsty, come: And
whoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
22:18 For I testify to every man that heareth the words of the
prophecy of this book, if any man shall add to these things,
God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book:
22:19 And if any man shall 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, and [from] the things which
are written in this book.
22:20 He who testifieth these things saith, Surely I come
quickly: Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
22:21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all.
Amen.
