^{1 Ref} And I saw a river of water of life, clear as glass, coming out of the high seat of God and of the Lamb,

^{2 Ref} In the middle of its street. And on this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, having twelve sorts of fruits, giving its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree give life to the nations.

^{3 Ref} And there will be no more curse: and the high seat of God and of the Lamb will be there; and his servants will be worshipping him;

^{4 Ref} And they will see his face; and his name will be on their brows.

^{5 Ref} And there will be no more night; and they have no need of a light or of the shining of the sun; for the Lord God will give them light: and they will be ruling for ever and ever.

^{6 Ref} And he said to me, These words are certain and true: and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to make clear to his servants the things which are now to come about.

^{7 Ref} See, I come quickly. A blessing on him who keeps the words of this book of the prophet.

^{8 Ref} And I, John, am he who saw these things and to whose ears they came. And when I had seen and given ear, I went down on my face to give worship at the feet of the angel who made these things clear to me.

^{9 Ref} And he said to me, See you do it not; I am a brother-servant with you and with your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book: give worship to God.

^{10 Ref} And he said to me, Let not the words of this prophet's book be kept secret, because the time is near.

^{11 Ref} Let the evil man go on in his evil: and let the unclean be still unclean: and let the upright go on in his righteousness: and let the holy be holy still.

^{12 Ref} See, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give to every man the outcome of his works.

^{13 Ref} I am the First and the Last, the start and the end.

^{14 Ref} A blessing on those whose robes are washed, so that they may have a right to the tree of life, and may go in by the doors into the town.

^{15 Ref} Outside are the dogs, and those who make use of evil powers, those who make themselves unclean, and the takers of life, and those who give worship to images, and everyone whose delight is in what is false.

^{16 Ref} I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give witness to you of these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright and morning star.

^{17 Ref} And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him who gives ear, say, Come. And let him who is in need come; and let everyone desiring it take of the water of life freely.

^{18 Ref} For I say to every man to whose ears have come the words of this prophet's book, If any man makes an addition to them, God will put on him the punishments which are in this book:

^{19 Ref} And if any man takes away from the words of this book, God will take away from him his part in the tree of life and the holy town, even the things which are in this book.

^{20 Ref} He who gives witness to these things says, Truly, I come quickly. Even so come, Lord Jesus.

^{21 Ref} The grace of the Lord Jesus be with the saints. So be it.

^{1 Ref} And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, bright as crystal, going forth out of the throne of God and of the Lamb:

^{2 Ref} in the midst of its broad place, and of the river on this side and on that, `is' a tree of life, yielding twelve fruits, in each several month rendering its fruits, and the leaves of the tree `are' for the service of the nations;

^{3 Ref} and any curse there shall not be any more, and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him,

^{4 Ref} and they shall see His face, and His name `is' upon their foreheads,

^{5 Ref} and night shall not be there, and they have no need of a lamp and light of a sun, because the Lord God doth give them light, and they shall reign -- to the ages of the ages.

^{6 Ref} And he said to me, `These words `are' stedfast and true, and the Lord God of the holy prophets did send His messenger to shew to His servants the things that it behoveth to come quickly:

^{7 Ref} Lo, I come quickly; happy `is' he who is keeping the words of the prophecy of this scroll.'

^{8 Ref} And I, John, am he who is seeing these things and hearing, and when I heard and beheld, I fell down to bow before the feet of the messenger who is shewing me these things;

^{9 Ref} and he saith to me, `See -- not; for fellow-servant of thee am I, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of those keeping the words of this scroll; before God bow.'

^{10 Ref} And he saith to me, `Thou mayest not seal the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is nigh;

^{11 Ref} he who is unrighteous -- let him be unrighteous still, and he who is filthy -- let him be filthy still, and he who is righteous -- let him be declared righteous still, and he who is sanctified -- let him be sanctified still:

^{12 Ref} And lo, I come quickly, and my reward `is' with me, to render to each as his work shall be;

^{13 Ref} I am the Alpha and the Omega -- the Beginning and End -- the First and the Last.

^{14 Ref} `Happy are those doing His commands that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of the life, and by the gates they may enter into the city;

^{15 Ref} and without `are' the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the whoremongers, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one who is loving and is doing a lie.

^{16 Ref} `I, Jesus did send my messenger to testify to you these things concerning the assemblies; I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright and morning star!

^{17 Ref} And the Spirit and the Bride say, Come; and he who is hearing -- let him say, Come; and he who is thirsting -- let him come; and he who is willing -- let him take the water of life freely.

^{18 Ref} `For I testify to every one hearing the words of the prophecy of this scroll, if any one may add unto these, God shall add to him the plagues that have been written in this scroll,

^{19 Ref} and if any one may take away from the words of the scroll of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the scroll of the life, and out of the holy city, and the things that have been written in this scroll;'

^{20 Ref} he saith -- who is testifying these things -- `Yes, I come quickly!' Amen! Yes, be coming, Lord Jesus!

^{21 Ref} The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ `is' with you all. Amen.
