Revelation 22

1And he showedG1166 me a riverG4215 of waterG5204 of lifeG2222, brightG2986 as crystalG2930, proceeding out of the throneG2362 of GodG2316 and of the LambG721, 2in the midstG3319 of the street thereof. And on this sideG1782 of the riverG4215 and on that was the treeG3586 of lifeG2222, bearing twelveG1427 manner of fruitsG2590, yielding its fruitG2590 every monthG3376: and the leaves of the treeG3586 were for the healingG2322 of the nationsG1484. 3And there shall beG1510 no curse any moreG2089: and the throneG2362 of GodG2316 and of the LambG721 shall beG1510 therein: and his servantsG1401 shall serveG3000 him; 4and they shall seeG3708 his faceG4383; and his nameG3686 shall be on their foreheadsG3359. 5And there shall beG1510 nightG3571 no moreG2089; and they needG5532 no lightG5457 of lampG3088, neither lightG5457 of sunG2246; for the LordG2962 GodG2316 shall give them lightG5457: and they shall reignG936 for ever and ever.

6And he saidG3004 unto me, These wordsG3056 are faithfulG4103 and trueG228: and the LordG2962, the GodG2316 of the spiritsG4151 of the prophetsG4396, sentG649 his angelG32 to showG1166 unto his servantsG1401 the thingsG3778 which must shortly comeG1096 to passG1096. 7And beholdG2400, I comeG2064 quicklyG5035. Blessed is he that keepeth the wordsG3056 of the prophecyG4394 of this bookG975.

8And I JohnG2491 am he that heardG191 and sawG991 these thingsG3778. And whenG3753 I heardG191 and sawG991, I fellG4098 downG4098 to worshipG4352 before the feetG4228 of the angelG32 that showedG1166 me these thingsG3778. 9And he saith unto me, SeeG3708 thou do it not: I amG1510 a fellow-servant with thee and with thy brethren the prophetsG4396, and with them that keepG5083 the wordsG3056 of this bookG975: worshipG4352 GodG2316.

10And he saith unto me, SealG4972 not up the wordsG3056 of the prophecyG4394 of this bookG975; for the timeG2540 isG1510 at hand. 11He that is unrighteous, let him do unrighteousness stillG2089: and he that is filthy, let him be madeG4160 filthy stillG2089: and he that is righteousG1342, let him do righteousnessG1343 stillG2089: and he that is holyG40, let him be madeG4160 holyG40 stillG2089. 12BeholdG2400, I comeG2064 quicklyG5035; and my rewardG3408 isG1510 with me, to renderG591 to each manG1538 according as his workG2041 isG1510. 13I am the Alpha and the OmegaG5598, the firstG4413 and the lastG2078, the beginning and the endG5056. 14Blessed areG1510 they that washG4150 their robesG4749, that they may have the rightG1849 to comeG1525 to the treeG3586 of lifeG2222, and may enterG1525 in by the gatesG4440 into the cityG4172. 15Without are the dogsG2965, and the sorcerersG5333, and the fornicatorsG4205, and the murderersG5406, and the idolatersG1496, and every oneG3588 that loveth and maketh a lieG5579.

16I JesusG2424 have sentG3992 mineG1473 angelG32 to testifyG3140 unto you these thingsG3778 for the churchesG1577. I amG1510 the rootG4491 and the offspringG1085 of DavidG1138, the brightG2986, the morningG4407 starG792.

17And the SpiritG4151 and the brideG3565 sayG3004, ComeG2064. And he that heareth, let him sayG3004, ComeG2064. And he that is athirst, let him comeG2064: he that willG2309, let him takeG2983 the waterG5204 of lifeG2222 freelyG1432.

18I testifyG3140 unto every manG3778 that heareth the wordsG3056 of the prophecyG4394 of this bookG975, If any manG3778 shall add unto them, GodG2316 shall add unto him the plaguesG4127 which are writtenG1125 in this bookG975: 19and if any manG3778 shall takeG851 awayG851 from the wordsG3056 of the bookG975 of this prophecyG4394, GodG2316 shall takeG851 awayG851 his partG3313 from the treeG3586 of lifeG2222, and out of the holyG40 cityG4172, which are writtenG1125 in this bookG975.

20He who testifieth these thingsG3778 saith, Yea: I comeG2064 quicklyG5035. AmenG281: comeG2064, LordG2962 JesusG2424.

21The graceG5485 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 be with the saints. Amen.
