1And he shewed me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, going out of the throne ofGod and of the Lamb.
1And I saw a river of water of life, clear as glass, coming out of the high seat of God and of the Lamb,
2In the midst of its street, and of the river, on this side and on that side, [the] tree of life, producing twelve fruits, in each month yielding its fruit; and the leaves of the tree for healing of the nations.
2In 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.
3And no curse shall be any more; and the throne ofGod and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him,
3And 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;
4and they shall see his face; and his name [is] on their foreheads.
4And they will see his face; and his name will be on their brows.
5And night shall not be any more, and no need of a lamp, and light of [the] sun; for [the] LordGod shall shine upon them, and they shall reign to the ages of ages.
5And 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.
6And he said to me, These words [are] faithful and true; and [the] LordGod of the spirits of the prophets has sent his angel to shew to his bondmen the things which must soon come to pass.

9And he says to me, See [thou do it] not. I am thy fellow-bondman, and [the fellow-bondman] of thy brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Do homage toGod.
