Revelation 22:1

22:1 Then ¹  the angel ²  showed me the river of the water of life – water as clear as crystal – pouring out ³  from the throne of God and of the Lamb,

Revelation 22:3

22:3 And there will no longer be any curse, ⁴  and the throne of God and the Lamb will be in the city. ⁵  His ⁶  servants ⁷  will worship ⁸  him,

[22:1]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[22:1]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (the angel mentioned in 21:9, 15) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:1]  ³ tn Grk “proceeding.” Water is more naturally thought to pour out or flow out in English idiom.

[22:3]  ⁴ tn Or “be anything accursed” (L&N 33.474).

[22:3]  ⁵ tn Grk “in it”; the referent (the city, the new Jerusalem) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:3]  ⁶ tn Grk “city, and his.” Although this is a continuation of the previous sentence in Greek, a new sentence was started here in the translation because of the introduction of the Lamb’s followers.

[22:3]  ⁷ tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

[22:3]  ⁸ tn Or “will serve.”
