(A)There will no longer be any curse; and (B)the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will (C)serve Him; they will (D)see His face, and His (E)name will be on their (F)foreheads. And (G)there will no longer be any night; and they [a]will not have need (H)of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illuminate them; and they will (I)reign forever and ever.

And (J)he said to me, “(K)These words are faithful and true”; and the Lord, the (L)God of the spirits of the prophets, (M)sent His angel to show His bond-servants the things which must soon take place.

“And behold, (N)I am coming quickly. (O)Blessed is the one who [b]keeps (P)the words of the prophecy of this book.”

(Q)I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, (R)I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things. And (S)he *said to me, “[c]Do not do that; I am a (T)fellow servant of yours and of your brothers the prophets, and of those who [d]keep the words of (U)this book. Worship God!”
