1And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

4They will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads.
4And they shall see his face: and his name shall be on their foreheads.
5There will be no more night in the city, and they will have no need for the light of a lamp or of the sun. For the Lord God will shine on them, and they will reign forever and ever.
5And night shall be no more: and they shall not need the light of the lamp, nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God shall enlighten them, and they shall reign for ever and ever.
