I saw no Temple in the city, for Adonai , God of heaven's armies, is its Temple, as is the Lamb.

Next the angel showed me the river of the water of life, sparkling like crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

no longer will there be any curses. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will worship him;

Night will no longer exist, so they will need neither the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because Adonai , God, will shine upon them. And they will reign as kings forever and ever.

Then he said to me, "These words are true and trustworthy: Adonai , God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must happen soon."

But he said to me, "Don't do that! I am only a fellow-servant with you and your brothers, the prophets and the people who obey the words in this book. Worship God!"

I warn everyone hearing the words of the prophecy in this book that if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues written in this book.

And if anyone takes anything away from the words in the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the Tree of Life and the holy city, as described in this book.
