Revelation 22

New American Standard Bible 1995

The River and the Tree of Life

1ThenG2532 1he showedG1166 me a 2riverG4215 of the 3waterG5204 of lifeG2222, 4clearG2986 5as crystalG2930, comingG1607 from the throneG2362 of GodG2316 and of 6the LambG721, 2in the middleG3319 of 7its streetG4116. 8On eitherG1782 sideG1782 of the riverG4215 was 9the treeG3586 of lifeG2222, bearingG4160 twelveG1427 10kinds of fruitG2590, yieldingG591 its fruitG2590 everyG2596G1538 monthG3376; and the leavesG5444 of the treeG3586 were for the healingG2322 of the nationsG1484. 311There will noG3756 longerG2089 be anyG3956 curseG2616; and 12the throneG2362 of GodG2316 and of the LambG721 will be in it, and His bond-servantsG1401 will 13serveG3000 Him; 4they will 14seeG3708 His faceG4383, and His 15nameG3686 will be on their 16foreheadsG3359. 5And 17there will noG3756 longerG2089 be any nightG3571; and they 18will not haveG2192 needG5532 19of the lightG5457 of a lampG3088 norG2532 the lightG5457 of the sunG2246, becauseG3754 the LordG2962 GodG2316 will illumineG5461 them; and they will 20reignG936 foreverG165 and everG165.

6And 21he saidG3004 to me, “22TheseG3778 wordsG3056 are faithfulG4103 and trueG228”; and the LordG2962, the 23GodG2316 of the spiritsG4151 of the prophetsG4396, 24sentG649 His angelG32 to showG1166 to His bond-servantsG1401 the things whichG3739 mustG1163 soonG5034 takeG1096 placeG1096.

7“And beholdG2400, 25I am comingG2064 quicklyG5035. 26BlessedG3107 is he who 27heedsG5083 28the wordsG3056 of the prophecyG4394 of thisG3778 bookG975.”

829I, JohnG2491, am the one who heardG191 and sawG991 theseG3778 thingsG3778. And whenG3753 I heardG191 and sawG991, 30I fellG4098 downG4098 to worshipG4352 at the feetG4228 of the angelG32 who showedG1166 me theseG3778 thingsG3778. 9But 31he saidG3004 to me, “Do not doG3708 that. I amG1510 a 32fellowG4889 servantG4889 of yoursG4771 and of your brethrenG80 the prophetsG4396 and of thoseG3588 who 33heedG5083 the wordsG3056 of 34thisG3778 bookG975. WorshipG4352 GodG2316.”

The Final Message

10And he saidG3004 to me, “35Do not sealG4972 up 36the wordsG3056 of the prophecyG4394 of thisG3778 bookG975, 37for the timeG2540 is nearG1451. 1138Let the one who doesG91 wrongG91, stillG2089 doG91 wrongG91; and the one whoG4508 is filthyG4508, stillG2089 be filthyG4507; and let the one whoG3588 is righteousG1342, stillG2089 practiceG4160 righteousnessG1343; and the one whoG40 is holyG40, stillG2089 keepG37 himself holyG37.”

12“BeholdG2400, 39I am comingG2064 quicklyG5035, and My 40rewardG3408 is with Me, 41to renderG591 to everyG1538 manG1538 42accordingG5613 to whatG2041 he hasG2041 doneG2041G1510. 13I am the 43AlphaG256 and the OmegaG5598, 44the firstG4413 and the lastG2078, 45the beginningG746 and the endG5056.”

14BlessedG3107 are thoseG3588 who 46washG4150 their robesG4749, soG2443 that they may have the rightG1849 to 47the treeG3586 of lifeG2222, and may 48enterG1525 by the 49gatesG4440 into the cityG4172. 1550OutsideG1854 are the 51dogsG2965 and the sorcerersG5333 and the immoralG4205 personsG4205 and the murderersG5406 and the idolatersG1496, and everyoneG3956 who lovesG5368 and practicesG4160 lyingG5579.

16“52I, JesusG2424, have sentG3992 53My angelG32 to testifyG3140 to you theseG3778 thingsG3778 5455for the churchesG1577. I amG1510 56the rootG4491 and the 57descendantG1085 of DavidG1160, the brightG2986 58morningG4407 starG792.”

17The 59SpiritG4151 and the 60brideG3565 sayG3004, “ComeG2064.” And let the one who hearsG191 sayG3004, “ComeG2064.” And 61let the one who is thirstyG1372 comeG2064; let the one who wishesG2309 takeG2983 the 62waterG5204 of lifeG2222 withoutG1431 costG1431.

18I testifyG3140 to everyoneG3956 who hearsG191 63the wordsG3056 of the prophecyG4394 of thisG3778 bookG975: ifG1437 anyoneG5100 64addsG2007 to them, GodG2316 will addG2007 to him 65the plaguesG4127 which are writtenG1125 in 66thisG3778 bookG975; 19and ifG1437 anyoneG5100 67takesG851 awayG851 from the 68wordsG3056 of the bookG975 of thisG3778 prophecyG4394, GodG2316 will takeG851 awayG851 his partG3313 from 69the treeG3586 of lifeG2222 and 70from the holyG40 cityG4172, 71which are writtenG1125 in thisG3778 bookG975.

20He who 72testifiesG3140 to theseG3778 thingsG3778 saysG3004, “YesG3483, 73I am comingG2064 quicklyG5035.” AmenG281. 74ComeG2064, LordG2962 JesusG2424.

2175The graceG5485 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 be with 76allG3956. Amen.
