²² Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”—

^7 (A)“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give ^(B)to eat from ^(C)the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.” ’

^2 (A)In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was ^(B)the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were ^(C)for the healing of the nations.

^14 (A)Blessed are those who ^[a]do His commandments, that they may have the right ^(B)to the tree of life, ^(C)and may enter through the gates into the city.
