Revelation 22:1-2

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, 22:2 flowing down the middle of the city’s ⁴  main street. ⁵  On each side ⁶  of the river is the tree of life producing twelve kinds ⁷  of fruit, yielding its fruit every month of the year. ⁸  Its leaves are for the healing of the nations.

Revelation 22:17

22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say: “Come!” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wants it take the water of life free of charge.
