生命水和生命樹

22 天使又指示我在城內街道當中一道生命水的河,明亮如水晶,從神和羔羊的寶座流出來。 在河這邊與那邊有生命樹,結十二樣[a]果子,每月都結果子,樹上的葉子乃為醫治萬民。 以後再沒有咒詛。在城裡有神和羔羊的寶座,他的僕人都要侍奉他, 也要見他的面。他的名字必寫在他們的額上。

不再有黑夜

不再有黑夜,他們也不用燈光、日光,因為主神要光照他們。他們要做王,直到永永遠遠。

遵守這書上預言的有福了

天使又對我說:「這些話是真實可信的。主,就是眾先知被感之靈的神,差遣他的使者,將那必要快成的事指示他僕人。」 「看哪,我必快來!凡遵守這書上預言的有福了!」

這些事是我約翰所聽見、所看見的,我既聽見、看見了,就在指示我的天使腳前俯伏要拜他。 他對我說:「千萬不可!我與你,和你的弟兄眾先知,並那些守這書上言語的人,同是做僕人的。你要敬拜神!」

賞罰在主主必報應

10 他又對我說:「不可封了這書上的預言,因為日期近了。 11 不義的,叫他仍舊不義;汙穢的,叫他仍舊汙穢;為義的,叫他仍舊為義;聖潔的,叫他仍舊聖潔。」 12 「看哪,我必快來!賞罰在我,要照各人所行的報應他。 13 我是阿拉法,我是俄梅戛;我是首先的,我是末後的;我是初,我是終。 14 那些洗淨自己衣服的有福了!可得權柄能到生命樹那裡,也能從門進城。 15 城外有那些犬類、行邪術的、淫亂的、殺人的、拜偶像的,並一切喜好說謊言、編造虛謊的。

16 「我耶穌差遣我的使者為眾教會將這些事向你們證明。我是大衛的根,又是他的後裔;我是明亮的晨星。」

17 聖靈和新婦都說:「來!」聽見的人也該說:「來!」口渴的人也當來,願意的都可以白白取生命的水喝。

警戒增減這書上的預言

18 我向一切聽見這書上預言的作見證:若有人在這預言上加添什麼,神必將寫在這書上的災禍加在他身上; 19 這書上的預言,若有人刪去什麼,神必從這書上所寫的生命樹和聖城刪去他的份。

20 證明這事的說:「是了,我必快來!」阿們!主耶穌啊,我願你來!

21 願主耶穌的恩惠常與眾聖徒同在!阿們。

The River of Life

22 Then the angel[a] showed me (A)the river of (B)the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of (C)the street of the city; (D)also, on either side of the river, (E)the tree of life[b] with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were (F)for the healing of the nations. (G)No longer will there be anything accursed, but (H)the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and (I)his servants will worship him. (J)They will see his face, and (K)his name will be on their foreheads. And (L)night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp (M)or sun, for (N)the Lord God will be their light, and (O)they will reign forever and ever.

Jesus Is Coming

And he said to me, (P)“These words are trustworthy and true. And the Lord, the God of (Q)the spirits of the prophets, (R)has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.”

“And behold, (S)I am coming soon. (T)Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

I, (U)John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, (V)I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me, (W)but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets, and with those (X)who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”

10 And he said to me, (Y)“Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. 11 (Z)Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.”

12 “Behold, (AA)I am coming soon, (AB)bringing my recompense with me, (AC)to repay each one for what he has done. 13 (AD)I am the Alpha and the Omega, (AE)the first and the last, (AF)the beginning and the end.”

14 Blessed are those who (AG)wash their robes,[c] so that they may have the right to (AH)the tree of life and that (AI)they may enter the city by the gates. 15 (AJ)Outside are (AK)the dogs (AL)and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

16 (AM)“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things (AN)for the churches. I am (AO)the root and (AP)the descendant of David, (AQ)the bright morning star.”

17 The Spirit and (AR)the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And (AS)let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the (AT)water of life without price.

18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: (AU)if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in (AV)the tree of life and in (AW)the holy city, which are described in this book.

20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely (AX)I am coming soon.” Amen. (AY)Come, Lord Jesus!

21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.[d] Amen.
