1And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God 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,
1And 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:
2In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the 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.
2in the midst of its broad place, and of the river on this side and on that, <FI>is<Fi> a tree of life, yielding twelve fruits, in each several month rendering its fruits, and the leaves of the tree <FI>are<Fi> for the service of the nations;
3And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God 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;
3and 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,
4And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
4And they will see his face; and his name will be on their brows.
4and they shall see His face, and His name <FI>is<Fi> upon their foreheads,
5And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
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.
5and 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.
6And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
6And 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.
6And he said to me, `These words <FI>are<Fi> 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:
7Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
7See, I come quickly. A blessing on him who keeps the words of this book of the prophet.
7Lo, I come quickly; happy <FI>is<Fi> he who is keeping the words of the prophecy of this scroll.'
8And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
8And 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.
8And 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;
9Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
9And 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.
9and 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.'

11He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
11Let 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.
