King James BibleInternational Standard Version
1And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.1Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal. It was flowing from the throne of God and the lamb.
2In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree 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.2Between the city street and the river, the tree of life was visible from each side. It produced twelve kinds of fruit, each month having its own fruit. The leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
3And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:3There will no longer be any curse. The throne of God and the lamb will be in the city. His servants will worship him
4And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.4and see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
5And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.5There will be no more night, and they will not need any light from lamps or the sun because the Lord God will shine on them. They will rule forever and ever.
6And 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.6He told me, "These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord God of the spirits and of the prophets has sent his messenger to show his servants the things that must happen soon."
7Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.7"See! I am coming soon! How blessed is the person who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book!"
8And 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.8I, John, heard and saw these things. When I had heard and seen them, I bowed down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing me these things.
9Then 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.9But he told me, "Don't do that! I am a fellow servant with you, your brothers the prophets, and those who keep the words in this book. Worship God!"
10And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.10Then he told me, "Don't seal up the words of the prophecy in this book, because the time is near.
11He 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.11Let the one who does what is evil continue to do what is evil. Let the filthy person continue to be filthy. Let the righteous person continue to do what is right. And let the holy person continue to be holy."
12And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.12"See! I am coming soon! My reward is with me to repay everyone according to his behavior.
13I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.13I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

15For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.15Outside are dogs, sorcerers, immoral people, murderers, idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
16I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.16"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give this testimony to you for the churches. I am the root and descendent of David, the bright morning star."
17And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.17The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" Let everyone who hears this say, "Come!" Let everyone who is thirsty come! Let anyone who wants the water of life take it as a gift!
18For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:18I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy in this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will strike him with the plagues that are written in this book.
19And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God 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.19If anyone takes away any words from the book of this prophecy, God will take away his portion of the tree of life and the holy city that are described in this book.
20He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.20The one who is testifying to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon!" Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!
21The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.21May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints. Amen.
