"REVELATION
22;1-21"
REVELATION 22:1-21 And he showed 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 show 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 showed 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.
