Revelation 21

1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.

2 I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying: “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man, and He will dwell with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them.

4 ‘He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,’ and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away.”

5 And the One seated on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” Then He said to me, “Write this down, for these words are true and faithful.”

6 And He told me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give freely from the spring of the water of life.

7 The one who overcomes will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son.

8 But to the cowardly and unbelieving and sinful and abominable and murderers and sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.”

9 Then one of the seven angels with the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came and said to me, “Come, 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 great holy city of Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God,

11 shining with the glory of God. Its radiance was like a most precious jewel, like a jasper, as clear as crystal.

12 The city had a great and high wall with twelve gates inscribed with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, and twelve angels at the gates.

13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south, and three on the west.

14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations bearing the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15 The angel who spoke with me had a golden measuring rod to measure the city and its gates and walls.

16 The city lies foursquare, with its width the same as its length. And he measured the city with the rod, and all its dimensions were equal—12,000 stadia in length and width and height.

17 And he measured its wall to be 144 cubits, by the human measure the angel was using.

18 The wall was made of jasper, and the city itself of pure gold, as pure as glass.

19 The foundations of the city walls were adorned with every kind of precious stone: The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,

20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.

21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, with each gate consisting of a single pearl. The main street of the city was pure gold, as clear as glass.

22 But I saw no temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

23 And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, because the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its lamp.

24 By its light the nations will walk, and into it the kings of the earth will bring their glory and the honor of the nations.

25 Its gates will never be shut at the end of the day, because there will be no night there.

26 And into the city will be brought the glory and honor of the nations.

27 But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who practices an abomination or a lie, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

1 ¶ And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God.

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

5 And he that sat upon the throne said, ‹Behold, I make all things new.› And he said unto me, ‹Write: for these words are true and faithful.›

6 And he said unto me, ‹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.›

7 ‹He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.›

8 ‹But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.›

9 ¶ And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

11 Having the glory of God: and her light [was] like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

12 And had a wall great and high, [and] had 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 three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.

16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred [and] forty [and] four cubits, [according to] the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.

18 And the building of the wall of it was [of] jasper: and the city [was] pure gold, like unto clear glass.

19 And the foundations of the wall of the city [were] garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation [was] jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;

20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

21 And the twelve gates [were] twelve pearls; every several gate 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 Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb [is] the light thereof.

24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.

26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.

27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither [whatsoever] worketh abomination, or [maketh] a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth. For the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and the sea is no more.

2 And I, John, saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And heard a great voice from the throne, saying, Behold, a tabernacle of GOD with men! And he shall dwell with them; and they shall be his people, and he himself, GOD with them, shall be their GOD.

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. And there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, nor pain: for the former things are passed away.

5 And he that sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he saith unto me, Write; for these words are true and certain].

6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the ending. I will give to him that thirsteth of the fountain of living waters freely.

7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things: and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

8 But to them that are perverse, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part shall be in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.

9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and spake unto me, saying, Come, and I will shew thee the bride of the Lamb.

10 And he brought me up in the Spirit into a great and high mountain, and shewed me the great city, even the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.

11 And had the glory of God: and the light thereof was like unto the most precious stone, a bright jasper.

12 And had great and high walls, and had twelve gates, and upon the gates twelve angels, and names written, which are the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

13 From the morning three gates, from midnight three gates, from noon three gates, from evening three gates.

14 And the wall of the city had twelve bases, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the walls thereof.

16 And the city is foursquare, and the length thereof is as great as the breadth thereof. And he measured the city with a reed twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of the city are equal.

17 And he measured their walls an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man that the angel hath.

18 And the building of their walls was of jasper, and the city of pure gold, like unto pure glass.

19 And the bases of the walls and of the city were adorned with all manner of precious stones. The first ground was a jasper; the second, a sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald,

20 the fifth a sardonich, the sixth a sardis, the seventh a chrysolite, the eighth a beryl, the ninth a topazian, the tenth a chrysoprase, the eleventh a hyacinth, the twelfth an amethyst.

21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; and every gate was of one pearl. And the streets of the city were all gold, as it were transparent glass.

22 And I saw no temple therein: for the LORD God Almighty is their temple, and the Lamb.

23 And the city hath no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine unto it: for the glory of God lighteth it, and the Lamb is the lamp thereof.

24 And the Gentiles which shall be saved shall walk in the same light. And the kings of the earth shall bring their glory into the same.

25 And their gates shall not be shut by day: for there shall be no night.

26 And the glory and honour of the Gentiles shall be brought into them.

27 And there shall not enter in any of them that are vile, and that do abominations, and that speak lies; but they which are written in the living book of the Lamb.
