Revelation 22

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

2in the middle of its street, and on this side and on that side of the river, was the tree of life, bearing twelve fruits, yielding its fruit each month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

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

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

5And night will be no more, and they will have no need of lamplight or sunlight, because the Lord God will shine on them, and they will reign forever and ever.

6And he said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true, and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants what must happen soon.”

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

8And I, John, am the one hearing and seeing these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who was showing me these things.

9And he says to me, “Do not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”

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

11Let the one who does wrong still do wrong, and the filthy still be made filthy, and the righteous still practice righteousness, and the holy still be made holy.

12Behold, I am coming soon, and my reward is with me, to repay each one according to what his work is.

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 may have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by the gates.

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

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

17And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life freely.

18I 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 in this book.

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

20The one who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

21The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.
