1And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away; and the sea is no more. 2And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. 3And 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: 4and he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more; nor shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more: the first things have passed away. 5And he who sits on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he says, Write: for these words are faithful and true. 6And he said to me, They have come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him who is thirsty of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7He who overcomes shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8But for the cowardly, 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. 9And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, which were full of the seven last plagues; and he spoke with me, saying, Come here, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb. 10And 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, 11having the glory of God: her light was like a stone most precious, as it were a jasper stone, clear as crystal: 12having a wall great and high; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 13on the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. 14And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15And he who spoke with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, and its gates, and its wall. 16And the city lies foursquare, and its length is as great as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs: its length and breadth and height are equal. 17And he measured its wall, a hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. 18And the building of its wall was jasper: and the city was pure gold, like pure glass. 19The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; 20the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. 21And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the gates was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. 22And I saw no temple in it: for the Lord God the Almighty, and the Lamb, are its temple. 23And the city has no need of the sun, nor of the moon, to shine upon it: for the glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb. 24And the nations shall walk amid its light: and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it. 25And its gates shall by no means be shut by day (for there shall be no night there): 26and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it: 27and there shall by no means enter into it anything unclean, or he who makes an abomination and a lie: but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
