1 Then the angel showed me a river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God {Theou} and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of the main street of the city. On either side of the river stood a tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit and yielding a fresh crop for each month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations {ethnōn}. 3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God {Theou} and of the Lamb will be within the city, and His servants {douloi} will worship Him. 4 They will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. 5 There will be no more night in the city, and they will have no need for the light of a lamp or of the sun. For the Lord {Kyrios} God {Theos} will shine on them, and they will reign forever \to the ages/ and ever. 6 Then the angel said to me, “These words are faithful and true. The Lord {Kyrios}, the God {Theos} of the spirits {pneumatōn} of the prophets, has sent His angel (messenger) to show His servants {doulois} what must soon (suddenly) take place. 7 “Behold, I am coming soon. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of prophecy in this book (scroll). 8 And I, John (YHWH is gracious), 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 (messenger) who had shown me these things. 9 But he said to me, “Do not do that! I am a fellow servant {syndoulos} with you and your brothers (and sisters) the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book (papyrus roll). Worship God {Theō}!
