1. The angel showed me the river of the water of life, clear as crystal. The river flows from the throne of God and the Lamb.
|
1. And G2532 he showed G1166 me G3427 a pure G2513 river G4215 of water G5204 of life G2222 , clear G2986 as G5613 crystal G2930 , proceeding G1607 out of G1537 the G3588 throne G2362 of God G2316 and G2532 of the G3588 Lamb G721 .
|
|
2. It flows down the middle of the street of the city. The tree of life is on each side of the river, and it produces fruit every month, twelve times a year. The leaves of the tree are for healing the nations.
|
2. In G1722 the midst G3319 of the G3588 street G4113 of it G846 , and G2532 on either side G1782 G2532 G1782 of the G3588 river G4215 , was there the tree G3586 of life G2222 , which bare G4160 twelve G1427 manner of fruits G2590 , and yielded G591 her G848 fruit G2590 every G2596 G1538 G1520 month G3376 : and G2532 the G3588 leaves G5444 of the G3588 tree G3586 were for G1519 the healing G2322 of the G3588 nations G1484 .
|
|
3. Nothing that God judges guilty will be there in that city. The throne of God and the Lamb will be in the city. God's servants will worship him.
|
3. And G2532 there shall be G2071 no more G3756 G3956 G2089 curse G2652 : but G2532 the G3588 throne G2362 of God G2316 and G2532 of the G3588 Lamb G721 shall be G2071 in G1722 it G846 ; and G2532 his G848 servants G1401 shall serve G3000 him G846 :
|
|
4. They will see his face. God's name will be written on their foreheads.
|
4. And G2532 they shall see G3700 his G846 face G4383 ; and G2532 his G846 name G3686 shall be in G1909 their G848 foreheads G3359 .
|
|
5. There will never be night again. People will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun. The Lord God will give them light. And they will rule like kings forever and ever.
|
5. And G2532 there shall be G2071 no G3756 night G3571 there G1563 ; and G2532 they need G2192 G5532 no G3756 candle G3088 , neither G2532 light G5457 of the sun G2246 ; for the Lord G2962 God G2316 giveth them light G5461 G846 : and G2532 they shall reign G936 forever and ever G1519 G165 G165 .
|
|
6. Then the angel said to me, "These words are true and can be trusted. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must happen soon:
|
6. And G2532 he said G2036 unto me G3427 , These G3778 sayings G3056 are faithful G4103 and G2532 true G228 : and G2532 the Lord G2962 God G2316 of the G3588 holy G40 prophets G4396 sent G649 his G848 angel G32 to show G1166 unto his G848 servants G1401 the things which G3739 must G1163 shortly G1722 G5034 be done G1096 .
|
|
7. 'Listen, I am coming soon! What a great blessing there is for the one who obeys the words of prophecy in this book.'"
|
7. Behold G2400 , I come G2064 quickly G5035 : blessed G3107 is he that keepeth G5083 the G3588 saying G3056 of the G3588 prophecy G4394 of this G5127 book G975 .
|
|
8. I am John. I am the one who heard and saw these things. After I heard and saw them, I bowed down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me.
|
8. And G2532 I G1473 John G2491 saw G991 these things G5023 , and G2532 heard G191 them. And G2532 when G3753 I had heard G191 and G2532 seen G991 , I fell down G4098 to worship G4352 before G1715 the G3588 feet G4228 of the G3588 angel G32 which showed G1166 me G3427 these things G5023 .
|
|
9. But the angel said to me, "Don't worship me! I am a servant like you and your brothers the prophets. I am a servant like all those who obey the words in this book. You should worship God!"
|
9. Then G2532 saith G3004 he unto me G3427 , See G3708 thou do it not G3361 : for G1063 I am G1510 thy G4675 fellow servant G4889 , and G2532 of thy G4675 brethren G80 the G3588 prophets G4396 , and G2532 of them which keep G5083 the G3588 sayings G3056 of this G5127 book G975 : worship G4352 God G2316 .
|
|
10. Then the angel told me, "Don't keep secret the words of prophecy in this book. The time is near for these things to happen.
|
10. And G2532 he saith G3004 unto me G3427 , Seal G4972 not G3361 the G3588 sayings G3056 of the G3588 prophecy G4394 of this G5127 book G975 : for G3754 the G3588 time G2540 is G2076 at hand G1451 .
|
|
11. Let anyone who is doing wrong continue to do wrong. Let anyone who is unclean continue to be unclean. Let anyone who is doing right continue to do right. Let anyone who is holy continue to be holy."
|
11. He that is unjust G91 , let him be unjust G91 still G2089 : and G2532 he which is filthy G4510 , let him be filthy G4510 still G2089 : and G2532 he that is righteous G1342 , let him be righteous G1344 still G2089 : and G2532 he that is holy G40 , let him be holy G37 still G2089 .
|
|
12. "Listen, I am coming soon! I will bring rewards with me. I will repay everyone for what they have done.
|
12. And G2532 , behold G2400 , I come G2064 quickly G5035 ; and G2532 my G3450 reward G3408 is with G3326 me G1700 , to give G591 every man G1538 according as G5613 his G848 work G2041 shall be G2071 .
|
|
13. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
|
13. I G1473 am G1510 Alpha G1 and G2532 Omega G5598 , the beginning G746 and G2532 the end G5056 , the G3588 first G4413 and G2532 the G3588 last G2078 .
|
|
14. "What a great blessing there is for those who have washed their robes. They will have the right to eat the food from the tree of life. They can go through the gates into the city.
|
14. Blessed G3107 are they that do G4160 his G848 commandments G1785 , that G2443 they G846 may have G2071 right G1849 to G1909 the G3588 tree G3586 of life G2222 , and G2532 may enter in G1525 through the G3588 gates G4440 into G1519 the G3588 city G4172 .
|
|
15. Outside the city are all those who live like dogs�those who do evil magic, those who sin sexually, those who murder, those who worship idols, and those who love to lie and pretend to be good.
|
15. For G1161 without G1854 are dogs G2965 , and G2532 sorcerers G5333 , and G2532 whoremongers G4205 , and G2532 murderers G5406 , and G2532 idolaters G1496 , and G2532 whosoever G3956 loveth G5368 and G2532 maketh G4160 a lie G5579 .
|
|
16. "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to tell you these things for the churches. I am the descendant from the family of David. I am the bright morning star."
|
16. I G1473 Jesus G2424 have sent G3992 mine G3450 angel G32 to testify G3140 unto you G5213 these things G5023 in G1909 the G3588 churches G1577 . I G1473 am G1510 the G3588 root G4491 and G2532 the G3588 offspring G1085 of David G1138 , and the G3588 bright G2986 and G2532 morning G3720 star G792 .
|
|
17. The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" Everyone who hears this should also say, "Come!" If anyone is thirsty, let them come; they can have the water of life as a free gift if they want it.
|
17. And G2532 the G3588 Spirit G4151 and G2532 the G3588 bride G3565 say G3004 , Come G2064 . And G2532 let him that heareth G191 say G2036 , Come G2064 . And G2532 let him that is athirst G1372 come G2064 . And G2532 whosoever G3588 will G2309 , let him take G2983 the G3588 water G5204 of life G2222 freely G1432 .
|
|
18. I warn everyone who hears the words of prophecy in this book: If anyone adds anything to these, God will give them the plagues written about in this book.
|
18. For G1063 I testify G4828 unto every man G3956 that heareth G191 the G3588 words G3056 of the G3588 prophecy G4394 of this G5127 book G975 , If G1437 any man G5100 shall add G2007 unto G4314 these things G5023 , God G2316 shall add G2007 unto G1909 him G846 the G3588 plagues G4127 that are written G1125 in G1722 this G5129 book G975 :
|
|
19. And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away their share of the tree of life and of the holy city, which are written about in this book.
|
19. And G2532 if G1437 any man G5100 shall take away G851 from G575 the G3588 words G3056 of the book G976 of this G5026 prophecy G4394 , God G2316 shall take away G851 his G846 part G3313 out of G575 the book G976 of life G2222 , and G2532 out of G1537 the G3588 holy G40 city G4172 , and G2532 from the things which are written G1125 in G1722 this G5129 book G975 .
|
|
20. Jesus is the one who says that all of this is true. Now he says, "Yes, I am coming soon." Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!
|
20. He which testifieth G3140 these things G5023 saith G3004 , Surely G3483 I come G2064 quickly G5035 . Amen G281 . Even so G3483 , come G2064 , Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 .
|
|
21. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all people.
|
21. The G3588 grace G5485 of our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 be with G3326 you G5216 all G3956 . Amen G281 .
