Rev 21
1
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth are
passed away; and the sea is no more.
2
And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven of God, made ready
as a bride adorned for her husband.
3
And I heard a great voice out of the throne saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God
is with men, and he shall dwell with them, and they shall be his peoples, and God
himself shall be with them, [and be] their God:
4
and he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more; neither
shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more: the first things are passed
away.
5
And he who sits on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he says, Write:
for these words are faithful and true.
6
And he said to me, They are come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning
and the end. I will give to him whom is athirst of the fountain of the water of life
freely.
7
He who overcomes shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he shall be
my son.
8
But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators,
and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part [shall be] in the lake that
burns with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.
9
And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were laden with
the seven last plagues; and he spoke with me, saying, Come here, I will show you the
bride, the wife of the Lamb.
10
And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the
holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
11
having the glory of God: her light was like to a stone most precious, as it were a
jasper stone, clear as crystal:
12
having a wall great and high; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels;
and names written thereon, which are [the names] of the twelve tribes of the children
of Israel:
13
on the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three
gates; and on the west three gates.
14
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve
apostles of the Lamb.
15
And he who spoke with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, and
its gates, and its wall.
16
And the city lies foursquare, and its length is as great as the breadth: and
he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs: the length and the breadth
and its height are equal.
17
And he measured its wall, a hundred and forty and four cubits, [according
to] the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
18
And the building of its wall was jasper: and the city was pure gold, like
to pure glass.
19
The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all manner of precious stones.
The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the
fourth, emerald;
20
the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl;
the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.
21
And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the several gates was of one
pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
22
And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God the Almighty, and the Lamb, are the
temple thereof.
23
And the city has no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine upon it: for the
glory of God did lighten it, and its lamp [is] the Lamb.
24
And the nations shall walk among its light: and the kings of the earth bring
their glory into it.
25
And its gates shall in no wise be shut by day (for there shall be no night
there):
26
and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it:
27
and there shall in no wise enter into it anything unclean, or he who makes an abomination
and a lie: but only they that are written in the Lamb`s book of life.
