Bible, King James Version
Revelation
Rev.21
[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.
