1 And he shewed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out from the throne of God and the Lamb. 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, is the tree of life, producing twelve manner of fruits, yielding its fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse. And the throne of God and the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: 4 and they shall see his face; and his name shall be on their foreheads. 5 And there shall be no more night; and they have no need of the light of a candle, nor the light of the sun; because the Lord God shines on them: and they shall reign until the ages of the ages.
6 And he said to me, These words are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the spirits of the prophets has sent his angel to show to his servants the things which it behooves quickly to come to pass.
7 Behold, I indeed am coming quickly. Blessed is the one keeping the words of the prophecy of this book.
8 And I John am the one seeing and hearing these things; and when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel, the one showing me these things. 9 And he says to me, See that you do it not: I am your fellow-servant, and one of your brethren the prophets, and of those keeping the words of this book: worship God. 10 And he says to me; Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the season is nigh. 11 Let the unrighteous one still continue to do injustice; and let the filthy one still be filthy; and let the righteous one still do righteousness; and let the holy one still be sanctified.
12 Behold, I am coming quickly; and my reward is with me, to give unto each one as his work is. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
14 Happy are those who wash their robes, that they may have right to the tree of life, and enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and harlots, and murderers, and idolaters, and every one doing and loving falsehood.
16 I Jesus sent my angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and offspring of David, the bright and morning-star.
17 Both the Spirit and the bride are saying, Come. And let the one hearing say, Come. And let the one thirsting come; let the one who is willing receive the water of life freely.
18 I testify to every one hearing the words of the prophecy of this book. If any one may add to these things, God will add unto him the plagues which are written in this book: 19 and if any one may take from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take his part from the tree of life, and from the holy city, from the things which are written in this book.
20 The one testifying these things says, Yes, I am coming quickly. Amen, come Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you all.
