1 Then the angel showed me a river of the water which gives life. It was as clear as glass. It flows from the throne of God and the Lamb.
2 It flows through the middle of the street of the city. On each side of the river is the tree which gives life. It has twelve kinds of fruit, and it bears its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree could heal the people of all nations.
3 Nothing that God hates will be in the city any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be there. And his servants will serve him.
4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
5 There will be no night there. They do not need the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun. The Lord God will give them light. They will rule for ever and ever.
