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 And he showed me the river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming out from the throne of God and of the Lamb in the middle of its street, and on both sides of the river[a] is the tree of life, producing twelve fruits—yielding its fruit according to every month—and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. And there will not be any curse any longer, and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his slaves will serve[b] him, and they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. And night will not exist any longer, and they will not have need of the light of a lamp and the light[c] of the sun, because the Lord God will give light to them, and they will reign forever and ever[d].
