Revelation 21:22-22:5
English Standard Version
22 And (A)I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. 23 And the city (B)has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for (C)the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. 24 By its light (D)will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth (E)will bring their glory into it, 25 and (F)its gates will never be shut by day—and (G)there will be no night there. 26 They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. 27 But (H)nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's (I)book of life.
The River of Life
22 Then the angel[a] showed me (J)the river of (K)the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 through the middle of (L)the street of the city; (M)also, on either side of the river, (N)the tree of life[b] with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were (O)for the healing of the nations. 3 (P)No longer will there be anything accursed, but (Q)the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and (R)his servants will worship him. 4 (S)They will see his face, and (T)his name will be on their foreheads. 5 And (U)night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp (V)or sun, for (W)the Lord God will be their light, and (X)they will reign forever and ever.
