¹⁴ But whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never get thirsty again.^(A) In fact, the water I will give him will become a well^[a](B) of water springing up in him for eternal life.”^(C)

The Promise of the Spirit

³⁷ On the last and most important day of the festival,^(A) Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me^[a](B) and drink.^{(C) 38} The one who believes in me,^(D) as the Scripture^(E) has said, will have streams of living water^(F) flow^(G) from deep within him.” ³⁹ He said this about the Spirit.^(H) Those who believed in Jesus were going to receive the Spirit,^(I) for the Spirit^[b] had not yet been given^[c] because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

⁶ Then he said to me, “It is done!^(A) I am the Alpha and the Omega,^(B) the beginning and the end.^(C) I will freely give to the thirsty^(D) from the spring of the water of life.^(E)

¹⁷ Both the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” Let anyone who hears, say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come. Let the one who desires take the water of life freely.^(A)
