 NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 1 Then he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb, | 1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. | 1 The angel showed me a river filled with the water of life, as clear as crystal. It was flowing from the throne of God and the lamb. | 1 He showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb, | 1 And he shewed me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, going out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. | 2 in the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. | 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. | 2 Between the street of the city and the river there was a tree of life visible from both sides. It produced 12 kinds of fruit. Each month had its own fruit. The leaves of the tree will heal the nations. | 2 in the middle of its street. On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. | 2 In the midst of its street, and of the river, on this side and on that side, the tree of life, producing twelve fruits, in each month yielding its fruit; and the leaves of the tree for healing of the nations. | 3 There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve Him; | 3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: | 3 There will no longer be any curse. The throne of God and the lamb will be in the city. His servants will worship him | 3 There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants serve him. | 3 And no curse shall be any more; and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him, | 4 they will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. | 4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. | 4 and see his face. His name will be on their foreheads. | 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. | 4 and they shall see his face; and his name is on their foreheads. | 5 And there will no longer be any night; and they will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will reign forever and ever. | 5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. | 5 There will be no more night, and they will not need any light from lamps or the sun because the Lord God will shine on them. They will rule as kings forever and ever. | 5 There will be no night, and they need no lamp light; for the Lord God will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever. | 5 And night shall not be any more, and no need of a lamp, and light of the sun; for the Lord God shall shine upon them, and they shall reign to the ages of ages. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
