Chapter 22
22And—he—showed—me—a—river—of—water—of—life,—bright—as—crystal,—proceeding—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—treeˣ—of—life,—with—its—twelve—manner—of—fruits,—and—yieldedᵈ—its—fruit—every—month:—and—the—leaves—of—the—treeˣ—were—for—the—healing—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—bond-servants—shall—serve—him:—
4And—they—shall—see—his—face;—and—his—name—shall—be—upon—their—foreheads.—
5And—there—shall—be—night—no—more;—and—they—need—no—lamp,—neither—light—of—the—sun;—for—the—Lord—God—shall—lighten—upon—them:—and—they—shall—reign—unto—the—ages—of—the—ages.—
6And—he—said—unto—me,—These—words—are—faithful—and—true:—and—the—Lord,—the—God—of—the—spirits—of—the—prophets,—sent—his—messenger—to—show—unto—his—bond-servants—the—things—which—must—shortly—come—to—pass.—
7Behold,—I—come—quickly:—blessed—is—he—who—keeps—the—words—of—the—prophecy—of—this—book.—
8And—I,—John,—am—he—who—heard—and—saw—these—things.—And—when—I—had—heard—and—seen,—I—fell—to—worship—in—front—of—the—feet—of—the—messenger—who—showed—me—these—things.—
9Then—he—said—unto—me,—See—you—do—it—not!—I—am—thy—fellowservant,—and—of—thy—brethren—the—prophets,—and—of—those—who—keep—the—words—of—this—book:—worship—God.—
10And—he—said—unto—me,—Seal—not—the—words—of—the—prophecy—of—this—book:—for—the—time—is—at—hand.—
11He—who—is—unjustᵃ,—let—him—be—unjustᵃ—still:—and—he—who—is—filthy,—let—him—be—filthy—still:—and—he—who—is—righteous,—let—him—do—righteousness—still:—and—he—who—is—holy,—let—him—be—holy—still.—
12behold,—I—come—quickly;—and—my—reward—is—with—me,—to—repayᵈ—every—man—according—as—his—work—shall—be.—
13I—am—the—Alpha—and—the—Omega,—the—first—and—the—last,—the—beginning—and—the—end.—
14Blessed—are—they—who—wash—their—robes,—that—they—may—have—rightᵉ—to—the—treeˣ—of—life,—and—may—enter—through—the—gates—into—the—city.—
15For—outside—are—the—dogs,—and—the—sorcerers,—and—the—whoremongers,—and—the—murderers,—and—the—idolaters,—and—whosoever—holds—dear—and—makes—a—lie.—
16I,—Jesus,—have—sent—my—messenger—to—testify—unto—you—these—things—in—the—churches.—I—am—the—root—and—the—offspring—of—David,—and—the—bright—and—morning—star.—
17And—the—Spirit—and—the—bride—say,—Come.—And—let—him—who—hears—say,—Come.—And—let—him—who—thirsts—come.—Let—him—who—desires—take—the—water—of—life—freely.—
18I—testify—unto—every—man—who—hears—the—words—of—the—prophecy—of—this—book,—If—any—man—shall—add—unto—these—things,—God—shall—add—unto—him—the—plagues—that—are—written—in—this—book:—
19And—if—any—man—shall—take—away—from—the—words—of—the—book—of—this—prophecy,—God—shall—take—away—his—part—out—of—the—treeˣ—of—life,—and—out—of—the—holy—city,—which—are—written—in—this—book.—
20He—who—testifies—these—things—says,—Yes,—I—come—quickly.—Amen.—come,—Lord—Jesus.—
21The—grace—of—Lord—Jesus—be—with—all..—
