Strongs On/Off
Context
22:1 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 ,
22:2 flowing down the middle of the city’s main street . On each side of the river is the tree of life producing twelve kinds of fruit , yielding its fruit every month of the year . Its leaves are for the healing of the nations .
22:3 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 ,
22:4 and they will see his face , and his name will be on their foreheads .
22:5 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 .
A Final Reminder
22:6 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 .”
22:7 (Look ! I am coming soon ! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy expressed in this book .)
22:8 I , John , am the one who heard and saw these things , and when I heard and saw them, I threw myself down to worship at the feet of the angel who was showing them to me .
22:9 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 !”
22:10 Then he said to me , “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy contained in this book , because the time is near .
