The Revelation to John, Chapter 22
{22:1} He showed me a[1] river of water of life, clear as crystal,
proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb, {22:2} 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.
{22:3} There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the
Lamb will be in it, and his servants serve him. {22:4} They will see
his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. {22:5} There will
be no night, and they need no lamp light; for the Lord God will
illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever.
{22:6} 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."
{22:7} "Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the words of
the prophecy of this book."
{22:8} 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. {22:9} He said to me, "See you don't do
it! 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." {22:10} He said to me, "Don't seal up the words of the prophecy
of this book, for the time is at hand. {22:11} 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."
{22:12} "Behold, I come quickly. My reward is with me, to repay to
each man according to his work. {22:13} I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. {22:14} 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. {22:15}
Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the
murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices
falsehood. {22:16} 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."
{22:17} 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. {22:18} I testify to everyone who hears
the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, may
God add to him the plagues which are written in this book. {22:19} If
anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, may God
take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city,
which are written in this book. {22:20} He who testifies these things
says, "Yes, I come quickly."
Amen! Yes, come, Lord Jesus.
{22:21} The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints.
Amen.
