Revelation 22:2-5

22:2 flowing down the middle of the city’s ¹  main street. ²  On each side ³  of the river is the tree of life producing twelve kinds ⁴  of fruit, yielding its fruit every month of the year. ⁵  Its leaves are for the healing of the nations. 22:3 And there will no longer be any curse, ⁶  and the throne of God and the Lamb will be in the city. ⁷  His ⁸  servants ⁹  will worship ¹⁰  him, 22:4 and they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 22:5 Night will be no more, and they will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will shine on them, and they will reign forever and ever.
