Revelation 21:22-22:5

New King James Version

The Glory of the New Jerusalem

^22 (A)But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. ^23 (B)The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine ^[a]in it, for the ^[b]glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. ^24 (C)And the nations ^[c]of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor ^[d]into it. ^25 (D)Its gates shall not be shut at all by day ^(E)(there shall be no night there). ^26 (F)And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into ^[e]it. ²⁷ But ^(G)there shall by no means enter it anything ^[f]that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s ^(H)Book of Life.

The River of Life

22 And he showed me ^(I)a ^[g]pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. ^2 (J)In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was ^(K)the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were ^(L)for the healing of the nations. ³ And ^(M)there shall be no more curse, ^(N)but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His ^(O)servants shall serve Him. ^4 (P)They shall see His face, and ^(Q)His name shall be on their foreheads. ^5 (R)There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor ^(S)light of the sun, for ^(T)the Lord God gives them light. ^(U)And they shall reign forever and ever.
