⁹ And out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. ^(A)The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, ^(B)and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

²² Then the Lord God said, ^(A)“Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand ^(B)and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever—”

¹⁴ Blessed are those who ^(A)wash their robes,^[a] so that they may have the right to ^(B)the tree of life and that ^(C)they may enter the city by the gates.

^7 (A)He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. ^(B)To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of ^(C)the tree of life, which is in ^(D)the paradise of God.’

² through the middle of ^(A)the street of the city; ^(B)also, on either side of the river, ^(C)the tree of life^[a] with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were ^(D)for the healing of the nations.

¹² And on the banks, ^(A)on both sides of the river, there will grow ^(B)all kinds of trees for food. ^(C)Their leaves will not wither, nor their fruit fail, ^(D)but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and ^(E)their leaves for healing.”

³ but God said, ^(A)‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’”
