Revelation 22 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

The River and the Tree of Life

1 And he showed ^G1166 me a river ^G4215 of the water ^G5204 of life ^G2222, [fn]clear ^G2986 as crystal ^G2930, coming ^G1607 from the throne ^G2362 of God ^G2316 and of [fn]the Lamb ^G721,

2 in the middle ^G3319 of its street ^G4116. On ^G1782 either ^G1782 side ^G1782 of the river ^G4215 was the tree ^G3586 of life ^G2222, bearing ^G4160 twelve ^G1427 [fn]kinds of fruit ^G2590, yielding ^G591 its fruit ^G2590 every ^G2596 G1538 month ^G3376; and the leaves ^G5444 of the tree ^G3586 were for the healing ^G2322 of the nations ^G1484. 3 There will no ^G3756 longer ^G2089 be any ^G3956 curse ^G2652; and the throne ^G2362 of God ^G2316 and of the Lamb ^G721 will be in it, and His bond-servants ^G1401 will serve ^G3000 Him; 4 they will see ^G3708 His face ^G4383, and His name ^G3686 will be on their foreheads ^G3359. 5 And there will no ^G3756 longer ^G2089 be any night ^G3571; and they [fn]will not have ^G2192 need ^G5532 of the light ^G5457 of a lamp ^G3088 nor ^G2532 the light ^G5457 of the sun ^G2246, because ^G3754 the Lord ^G2962 God ^G2316 will illuminate ^G5461 them; and they will reign ^G936 forever ^G165 and ever ^G165.

6 And he said ^G3004 to me, “These ^G3778 words ^G3056 are faithful ^G4103 and true ^G228”; and the Lord ^G2962, the God ^G2316 of the spirits ^G4151 of the prophets ^G4396, sent ^G649 His angel ^G32 to show ^G1166 His bond-servants ^G1401 the things which ^G3739 must ^G1163 soon ^G5034 take ^G1096 place ^G1096.

7 “And behold ^G2400, I am coming ^G2064 quickly ^G5035. Blessed ^G3107 is the one who [fn]keeps ^G5083 the words ^G3056 of the prophecy ^G4394 of this ^G3778 book ^G975.”

8 I, John ^G2491, am the one who heard ^G191 and saw ^G991 these ^G3778 things ^G3778. And when ^G3753 I heard ^G191 and saw ^G991 them, I fell ^G4098 down ^G4098 to worship ^G4352 at the feet ^G4228 of the angel ^G32 who showed ^G1166 me these ^G3778 things ^G3778. 9 And he *said ^G3004 to me, “[fn]Do not do ^G3708 that; I am ^G1510 a fellow ^G4889 servant ^G4889 of yours ^G4771 and of your brothers ^G80 the prophets ^G4396, and of those ^G3588 who [fn]keep ^G5083 the words ^G3056 of this ^G3778 book ^G975. Worship ^G4352 God ^G2316!”

The Final Message

10 And he *said ^G3004 to me, “Do not seal ^G4972 up ^G4972 the words ^G3056 of the prophecy ^G4394 of this ^G3778 book ^G975, for the time ^G2540 is near ^G1451.

11 Let the one who ^G3588 does ^G91 wrong ^G91 still ^G2089 do ^G91 wrong ^G91, and the one who ^G3588 is filthy ^G4508 still ^G2089 be filthy ^G4510; and let the one who ^G3588 is righteous ^G1342 still ^G2089 practice ^G4160 righteousness ^G1343, and the one who ^G3588 is holy ^G40 still ^G2089 keep ^G37 himself holy ^G37.”

12 “Behold ^G2400, I am coming ^G2064 quickly ^G5035, and My reward ^G3408 is with Me, to reward ^G591 each ^G1538 one ^G1538 as his work ^G2041 [fn]deserves ^G1510. 13 I am the Alpha ^G1 and the Omega ^G5598, the first ^G4413 and the last ^G2078, the beginning ^G746 and the end ^G5056.”

14 Blessed ^G3107 are those ^G3588 who wash ^G4150 their robes ^G4749, so ^G2443 that ^G2443 they will have the right ^G1849 to the tree ^G3586 of life ^G2222, and may enter ^G1525 the city ^G4172 by the gates ^G4440. 15 Outside ^G1854 are the dogs ^G2965, the sorcerers ^G5333, the sexually ^G4205 immoral ^G4205 persons ^G4205, the murderers ^G5406, the idolaters ^G1496, and everyone ^G3956 who loves ^G5368 and practices ^G4160 lying ^G5579.

16 “I, Jesus ^G2424, have sent ^G3992 My angel ^G32 to testify ^G3140 to you of these ^G3778 things ^G3778 [fn]for the churches ^G1577. I am ^G1510 the root ^G4491 and the descendant ^G1085 of David ^G1138, the bright ^G2986 morning ^G4407 star ^G792.”

17 The Spirit ^G4151 and the bride ^G3565 say ^G3004, “Come ^G2064.” And let the one who hears ^G191 say ^G3004, “Come ^G2064.” And let the one who is thirsty ^G1372 come ^G2064; let the one who desires ^G2309, take ^G2983 the water ^G5204 of life ^G2222 without ^G1432 cost ^G1432.

18 I testify ^G3140 to everyone ^G3956 who hears ^G191 the words ^G3056 of the prophecy ^G4394 of this ^G3778 book ^G975: if ^G1437 anyone ^G5100 adds ^G2007 to them, God ^G2316 will add ^G2007 to him the plagues ^G4127 that are written ^G1125 in this ^G3778 book ^G975; 19 and if ^G1437 anyone ^G5100 takes ^G851 away ^G851 from the words ^G3056 of the book ^G975 of this ^G3778 prophecy ^G4394, God ^G2316 will take ^G851 away ^G851 his part ^G3313 from the tree ^G3586 of life ^G2222 and [fn]from the holy ^G40 city ^G4172, which are written ^G1125 in this ^G3778 book ^G975.

20 He who testifies ^G3140 to these ^G3778 things ^G3778 says ^G3004, “Yes ^G3483, I am coming ^G2064 quickly ^G5035.” Amen ^G281. Come ^G2064, Lord ^G2962 Jesus ^G2424.

21 The grace ^G5485 of the Lord ^G2962 Jesus ^G2424 be with [fn]all ^G3956. Amen.
