The River and the Tree of Life

1 Then ahe showed me a briver of the cwater of life, 1clear das crystal, coming from the throne of God and of 2the Lamb,

2 in the middle of aits street. bOn either side of the river was cthe tree of life, bearing twelve 1kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

3 aThere will no longer be any curse; and bthe throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will cserve Him;

4 they will asee His face, and His bname will be on their cforeheads.

5 And athere will no longer be any night; and they 1will not have need bof the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will creign forever and ever.

6 And ahe said to me, “bThese words are faithful and true”; and the Lord, the cGod of the spirits of the prophets, dsent His angel to show to His bond-servants the things which must soon take place.

7 “And behold, aI am coming quickly. bBlessed is he who 1heeds cthe words of the prophecy of this book.”
