1 Then he showed me a river of the water of life,aclear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and ofbthe Lamb, 2 in the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelveckinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve Him; 4 they will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. 5 And there will no longer be any night; and theydwill not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will reign forever and ever. | |

I am a fellow servant of yours and of your brethren the prophets and of those whofheed the words of this book. Worship God.” | |
10 And he *said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. 11 Let the one who does wrong, still do wrong; and the one who is filthy, still be filthy; and let the one who is righteous, still practice righteousness; and the one who is holy, still keep himself holy.” | |
