-Revelation
Chapter 22 - (King James Version)
1 And he shewed me a pure river of water
of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of
the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of
the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of
fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree
were for the healing of the nations.
3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God
and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in
their foreheads.
5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no
candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light:
and they shall reign for ever and ever.
6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and
true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew
unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the
sayings of the prophecy of this book.
8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I
had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the
angel which shewed me these things.
9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy
fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which
keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the
prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he
which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous,
let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy
still.
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me,
to give every man according as his work shall be.
13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the
first and the last.
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they
may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates
into the city.
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers,
and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these
things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and
the bright and morning star.
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him
that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And
whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of
the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God
shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And 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 the things which are written
in this book.
20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come
quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Amen.

- Revelation Chapter
22 - (New International
Version)
1Then the angel showed me the river of the
water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and
of the Lamb 2down the middle of the great street of the
city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve
crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the
tree are for the healing of the nations. 3No longer will
there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the
city, and his servants will serve him. 4They will see his
face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5There will
be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light
of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign
for ever and ever. 6The angel said to me, "These words are
trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the
prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must
soon take place."
Jesus Is Coming
7"Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the
words of the prophecy in this book."
8I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And
when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of
the angel who had been showing them to me. 9But he said to
me, "Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your
brothers the prophets and of all who keep the words of this book.
Worship God!"
10Then he told me, "Do not seal up the words of the
prophecy of this book, because the time is near. 11Let him
who does wrong continue to do wrong; let him who is vile continue to
be vile; let him who does right continue to do right; and let him who
is holy continue to be holy."
12"Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I
will give to everyone according to what he has done. 13I am
the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the
End.
14"Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may
have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into
the city. 15Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic
arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone
who loves and practices falsehood.
16"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you[1]
this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of
David, and the bright Morning Star."
17The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who
hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever
wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.
18I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of
this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the
plagues described in this book. 19And if anyone takes words
away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share
in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this
book.
20He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming
soon."
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
21The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God's people. Amen.
