\v 1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, clear as crystal. It was flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb

\v 2 through the middle of the city's street. On each side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, and it bears its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
