[392]will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
John in his vision saw also a new heaven and a new earth; and there was no more sea. For the former things were passed away. And Jesus who sat upon the throne, said:
Behold, I make all things new.
And he said to John:
Write: for these words are true and faithful. It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have
[393]their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
And John saw the holy city, with its jasper walls, its golden streets, and gates of pearl; its crystal river, and tree of life, with its perpetual fruits and healing leaves; and the light of the city was the glory of the Lamb. And he spake to John and said,
I, Jesus, have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things, in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
And the Spirit and the bride say, come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
