22 I saw (A)no [a]temple in it, for the (B)Lord God the Almighty and the (C)Lamb are its [b]temple. 23 And the city (D)has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for (E)the glory of God has illuminated it, and its lamp is the (F)Lamb. 24 (G)The nations will walk by its light, and the (H)kings of the earth [c]will bring their glory into it. 25 In the daytime (for (I)there will be no night there) (J)its gates (K)will never be closed; 26 and (L)they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it; 27 and (M)nothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those [d]whose names are (N)written in the Lamb’s book of life.

The River and the Tree of Life

22 And (O)he showed me a (P)river of the (Q)water of life, [e]clear (R)as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of [f]the Lamb, in the middle of (S)its street. (T)On either side of the river was (U)the tree of life, bearing twelve [g]kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. (V)There will no longer be any curse; and (W)the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will (X)serve Him; they will (Y)see His face, and His (Z)name will be on their (AA)foreheads. And (AB)there will no longer be any night; and they [h]will not have need (AC)of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illuminate them; and they will (AD)reign forever and ever.

22 Then the angel showed me the river(N) of the water of life,(O) as clear as crystal,(P) flowing(Q) from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life,(R) bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.(S) No longer will there be any curse.(T) The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.(U) They will see his face,(V) and his name will be on their foreheads.(W) There will be no more night.(X) They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light.(Y) And they will reign for ever and ever.(Z)
