|
|
15. "For this reason they stand before God's throne and worship him day and night in his temple. The one who sits on the throne will shelter them.
|
15. Therefore G1223 G5124 are G1526 they before G1799 the G3588 throne G2362 of God G2316 , and G2532 serve G3000 him G846 day G2250 and G2532 night G3571 in G1722 his G848 temple G3485 : and G2532 he that sitteth G2521 on G1909 the G3588 throne G2362 shall dwell G4637 among G1909 them G846 .

|
|
17. For the Lamb who is in the center of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to springs of life-giving water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
|
17. For G3754 the G3588 Lamb G721 which G3588 is in G303 the midst G3319 of the G3588 throne G2362 shall feed G4165 them G846 , and G2532 shall lead G3594 them G846 unto G1909 living G2198 fountains G4077 of waters G5204 : and G2532 God G2316 shall wipe away G1813 all G3956 tears G1144 from G575 their G848 eyes G3788 .
