The One on the throne said to me: “It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega, {\cf2\super [158]} the Beginning and the End. I will give free water from the spring of the water of life to any person that is thirsty.
The Spirit {\cf2\super [178]} and the bride say, “Come!” Every person that hears this should also say, “Come!” If a person is thirsty, let him come; that person can have the water of life as a free gift if he wants it.
The Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd. He will lead them to springs of water that give life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
