The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, because the glory of God lights it up, and its lamp is the Lamb.

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life—water as clear as crystal—pouring out from the throne of God and of the Lamb,

And there will no longer be any curse, and the throne of God and the Lamb will be in the city. His servants will worship him,

Night will be no more, and they will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will shine on them, and they will reign forever and ever.

Then the angel said to me, "These words are reliable and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must happen soon."

But he said to me, "Do not do this! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers the prophets, and with those who obey the words of this book. Worship God!"

I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy contained in this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book.

And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city that are described in this book.
