The Source of Life
22 Then he showed me the river[a] of the water of life,(A) clear as crystal,(B) flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb(C) 2 down the middle of the city’s main street. The tree of life was on each side of the river, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, producing its fruit every month.(D) The leaves of the tree are for healing the nations,(E) 3 and there will no longer be any curse.(F) The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will worship him. 4 They will see his face,(G) and his name will be on their foreheads.(H) 5 Night will be no more;(I) people will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will give them light,(J) and they will reign forever and ever.
