Chapter 22

1 |
And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out
of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
|
2 |
In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the
1tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit
every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of
the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must
shortly be done.

prophecy of this book.

And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I
fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
|
9 |
Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of
thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book:
worship God.

And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the
time is at hand.

He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be
filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that
is holy, let him be holy still.
|
12 |
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to 1give
every man according as his work shall be.

let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life
freely.

book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues
that are written in this book:

shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and
from the things which are written in this book.

so, come, Lord Jesus.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
