Revelation 22

1ThenG2532 the angel showedG1166 meG1473 a riverG4215 of the waterG5204 of lifeG2222, as clearG2986 asG5613 crystalG2930, flowingG1607 fromG1537 theG3588 throneG2362 of GodG2316 andG2532 of theG3588 LambG721 2downG1722 the middleG3319 of theG3588 main streetG4113 ofG846 the city. On either sideG1782G2532G1564 of theG3588 riverG4215 stood a treeG3586 of lifeG2222, bearingG4160 twelveG1427 kinds of fruitG2590 and yieldingG591 a fresh cropG2590 forG2596 eachG1538 monthG3376. AndG2532 theG3588 leavesG5444 of theG3588 treeG3586 are forG1519 the healingG2322 of theG3588 nationsG1484.

NoG3756 longerG2089 will there beG1510 anyG3956 curseG2652. TheG3588 throneG2362 of GodG2316 andG2532 of theG3588 LambG721 will beG1510 withinG1722 the city, andG2532 HisG846 servantsG1401 will worshipG3000 HimG846. 4They will seeG3708 HisG846 faceG4383, andG2532 HisG846 nameG3686 will be onG1909 theirG846 foreheadsG3359. 5There will beG1510 no moreG3756 nightG3571 in the city, andG2532 they will haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 for the lightG5457 of a lampG3088 or of the sunG2246. ForG3754 the LordG2962 GodG2316 will shineG5461 onG1909 themG846, andG2532 they will reignG936 foreverG1519G3588G165 and everG165.

Jesus Is Coming

6ThenG2532 the angel saidG2036 to meG1473, “TheseG3778 wordsG3056 are faithfulG4103 andG2532 trueG228. TheG3588 LordG2962, theG3588 GodG2316 of theG3588 spiritsG4151 of theG3588 prophetsG4396, has sentG649 HisG846 angelG32 to showG1166 HisG846 servantsG1401 whatG3739 mustG1163 soonG1722G50341 take placeG1096.”

“BeholdG2400, I am comingG2064 soonG5035. BlessedG3107 is theG3588 one who keepsG5083 theG3588 wordsG3056 ofG3588 prophecyG4394 inG3588 thisG3778 bookG975.2”

8And IG2504, JohnG2491, am theG3588 one who heardG191 andG2532 sawG991 these thingsG3778. AndG2532 whenG3753 I had heardG191 andG2532 seenG991 them, I fell downG4098 to worshipG4352 atG1715 theG3588 feetG4228 of theG3588 angelG32 whoG3588 had shownG1166 meG1473 these thingsG3778. 9But he saidG3004 to meG1473, “Do not do thatG3708G3361! I amG1510 a fellow servantG4889 with youG4771 andG2532 yourG4771 brothersG80 theG3588 prophetsG4396, andG2532 with those whoG3588 keepG5083 theG3588 wordsG3056 of thisG3778 bookG975. WorshipG4352 GodG2316!”

10ThenG2532 he toldG3004 meG1473, “Do not seal upG3361G4972 theG3588 wordsG3056 ofG3588 prophecyG4394 in thisG3778 bookG975, becauseG1063 theG3588 timeG2540 isG1510 nearG1451. 11Let theG3588 unrighteousG91 continue to be unrighteousG91G2089, andG2532 theG3588 vileG4508 continue to be vileG4510G2089; letG2532 theG3588 righteousG1342 continue to practiceG4160G2089 righteousnessG1343, andG2532 theG3588 holyG40 continue to be holyG37G2089.”

12“BeholdG2400, I am comingG2064 soonG5035, andG2532 MyG1473 rewardG3408 is withG3326 MeG1473, to giveG591 to each oneG1538 according toG5613G1510 whatG3588 heG846 has doneG2041. 13IG1473 am theG3588 AlphaG1 andG2532 theG3588 OmegaG5598, theG3588 FirstG4413 andG2532 theG3588 LastG2078, theG3588 BeginningG746 andG2532 theG3588 EndG5056.”

14BlessedG3107 are those whoG3588 washG4150 theirG846 robesG4749,3 so thatG2443 theyG846 may haveG1510 theG3588 rightG1849 toG1909 theG3588 treeG3586 of lifeG2222 andG2532 may enterG1525G1519 theG3588 cityG4172 byG3588 its gatesG4440. 15But outsideG1854 are theG3588 dogsG2965, theG3588 sorcerersG5333, theG3588 sexually immoralG4205, theG3588 murderersG5406, theG3588 idolatersG1496, andG2532 everyone whoG3956 lovesG5368 andG2532 practicesG4160 falsehoodG5579.

16“IG1473, JesusG2424, have sentG3992 MyG1473 angelG32 to give you this testimonyG3140G4771G3778 forG1909 theG3588 churchesG1577. IG1473 amG1510 theG3588 RootG4491 andG2532 theG3588 OffspringG1085 of DavidG1138, theG3588 brightG2986 MorningG4407 StarG792.”

17

TheG3588 SpiritG4151 andG2532 theG3588 brideG3565 sayG3004, “ComeG2064!” Let theG3588 one who hearsG191 sayG2036, “ComeG2064!” AndG2532 let theG3588 one who is thirstyG1372 comeG2064, and theG3588 one who desiresG2309 the waterG5204 of lifeG2222 drink freelyG1432.

18IG1473 testifyG3140 to everyoneG3956 whoG3588 hearsG191 theG3588 wordsG3056 ofG3588 prophecyG4394 in thisG3778 bookG975: IfG1437 anyoneG5100 addsG2007 toG1909 them, GodG2316 will addG2007 toG1909 himG846 theG3588 plaguesG4127 describedG1125 inG1722 thisG3778 bookG975. 19AndG2532 ifG1437 anyoneG5100 takes awayG851 fromG575 theG3588 wordsG3056 of thisG3778 bookG975 of prophecyG4394, GodG2316 will take awayG851 hisG846 shareG3313 inG575 theG3588 treeG3586 of lifeG2222 andG2532 theG3588 holyG40 cityG4172, whichG3588 are describedG1125 inG1722 thisG3778 bookG975.

20He whoG3588 testifies toG3140 these thingsG3778 saysG3004, “YesG3483, I am comingG2064 soonG5035.” AmenG281. ComeG2064, LordG2962 JesusG2424!
