I did not see a house of God in the city. The All-powerful Lord God and the Lamb are the house of God in this city.

There is no need for the sun and moon to shine in the city. The shining-greatness of God makes it full of light. The Lamb is its light.

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life. It was as clear as glass and came from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

There will be nothing in the city that is sinful. The place where God and the Lamb sit will be there. The servants He owns will serve Him.

There will be no night there. There will be no need for a light or for the sun. Because the Lord God will be their light. They will be leaders forever.

Then the angel said to me, "These words are faithful and true. The Lord God of the early preachers has sent His angel to show the servants He owns what must happen soon."

But he said to me, "No! You must not do that. I am a servant together with you and with your Christian brothers and the early preachers and with all those who obey the words in this Book. You must worship God!"

And let the sinful people keep on being sinful. Let the dirty-minded people keep on being dirty-minded. And let those right with God keep on being right with God. Let the holy people keep on being holy.

I am telling everyone who hears the words that are written in this book: If anyone adds anything to what is written in this book, God will add to him the kinds of trouble that this book tells about.

If anyone takes away any part of this book that tells what will happen in the future, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the Holy City, which are told about in this book.
