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.

Paradise Restored

22 The angel showed me the[a] river of the water of life, which was as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and the Lamb. In the middle of the city’s street and on each side of the river was a tree of life that yielded twelve kinds of fruit. The tree yields its fruit every month, and its leaves are for the healing of the nations.

There will no longer be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city. His servants will worship him. They will see his face. His name will be on their foreheads. There will no longer be any night or any need for lamplight or sunlight, because the Lord God will shine on them. And they will reign forever and ever.
