The River and the Tree of Life

22 Then (A)he showed me a (B)river of the (C)water of life, bright (D)as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of [a]the Lamb, in the middle of (E)its street. (F)On either side of the river was (G)the tree of life, bearing twelve [b]kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. (H)And there will no longer be any curse; and (I)the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His slaves will (J)serve Him; and they will (K)see His face, and His (L)name will be on their (M)foreheads. And (N)there will no longer be any night, and they [c]will not have need (O)of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them, and they will (P)reign forever and ever.

22 Then the angel showed me the river of life-giving water,[a] shining like crystal, flowing from the throne of God and the Lamb through the middle of the city’s main street. On each side of the river is the tree of life, which produces twelve crops of fruit, bearing its fruit each month. The tree’s leaves are for the healing of the nations. There will no longer be any curse. The throne of God and the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. Night will be no more. They won’t need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will shine on them, and they will rule forever and always.
