Revelation of John 22

¹And he showed me the river of the water of life, shining like crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

²In the midst of its main street, and on both sides of the river, was the Tree of Life, bearing twelve fruits, offering one fruit for each month, and the leaves of the tree are for the health of the nations.

³And every curse shall be no more. But the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants shall serve him.

⁴And they shall see his face. And his name shall be on their foreheads.

⁵And night shall be no more. And they will not need the light of a lamp, nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illuminate them. And they shall reign forever and ever.

⁶And he said to me: “These words are entirely faithful and true.” And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his Angel to reveal to his servant what must occur soon:

⁷“For behold, I am approaching quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

⁸And I, John, heard and saw these things. And, after I had heard and seen, I fell down, so as to adore before the feet of the Angel, who was revealing these things to me.

⁹And he said to me: “Be careful not to do so. For I am your fellow servant, and I am among your brothers the prophets, and among those who keep the words of the prophecy of this book. Adore God.”

¹⁰And he said to me: “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book. For the time is near.

¹¹Whoever does harm, he might still do harm. And whoever is filthy, he might still be filthy. And whoever is just, he may still be just. And one who is holy, he may still be holy.”

¹²“Behold, I am approaching quickly! And my repayment is with me, to render to each one according to his works.

¹³I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”

¹⁴Blessed are those who wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb. So may they have a right to the tree of life; so may they enter through the gates into the City.

¹⁵Outside are dogs, and drug users, and homosexuals, and murderers, and those who serve idols, and all who love and do what is false.

¹⁶“I, Jesus, have sent my Angel, to testify to these things for you among the Churches. I am the Root and the Origin of David, the bright morning Star.”

¹⁷And the Spirit and the Bride say: “Draw near.” And whoever hears, let him say: “Draw near.” And whoever thirsts, let him draw near. And whoever is willing, let him accept the water of life, freely.

¹⁸For I call as witnesses all listeners of the words of the prophecy of this book. If anyone will have added to these, God will add upon him the afflictions written in this book.

¹⁹And if anyone will have taken away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his portion from the Book of Life, and from the Holy City, and from these things which have been written in this book.

²⁰He who offers testimony to these things, says: “Even now, I am approaching quickly.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

²¹The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Revelation of John 22

¹And he shewed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

²In the midst of the street thereof, and on both sides of the river, was the tree of life, bearing twelve fruits, yielding its fruits every month: the leaves of the tree for the healing of the nations.

³And there shall be no curse any more: but 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 on their foreheads.

⁵And night shall be no more. And they shall not need the light of the lamp, nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God shall enlighten then. And they shall reign for ever and ever.

⁶And he said to me: These words are most faithful and true. And the Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent his angel to shew his servant the things which must be done shortly.

⁷And: Behold I come quickly. Blessed is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book.

⁸And I, John, who have heard and seen these things. And, after I had heard and seen, I fell down to adore before the feet of the angel who shewed me the things.

⁹And he said to me: See thou do it not. For I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets and of them that keep the words of the prophecy of this book. Adore God.

¹⁰And he saith to me: Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book. For the time is at hand.

¹¹He that hurteth, let him hurt still: and he that is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is just, let him be justified still: and he that is holy, let him be sanctified still.

¹²Behold, I come quickly: and my reward is with me, to render to every, man according to his works.

¹³I am Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

¹⁴Blessed are they that wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb: that they may have a right to the tree of life and may enter in by the gates into the city.

¹⁵Without are dogs and sorcerers and unchaste and murderers and servers of idols and every one that loveth and maketh a lie.

¹⁶I, Jesus, have sent my angel, to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and stock of David, the bright and morning star.

¹⁷And the spirit and the bride say: Come. And he that heareth, let him say: Come. And he that thirsteth, let him come. And he that will, let him take the water of life, freely.

¹⁸For I testify to every one that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book: If any man shall add to these things, God shall add unto him the plagues 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 book of life, and out of the holy city, and from these things that are written in this book.

²⁰He that giveth testimony of these things, saith: Surely, I come quickly: Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
