Revelation 21:2-27

2And I sawG3708 the holyG40 cityG4172, newG2537 JerusalemG2419, comingG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772 from GodG2316, madeG2090 readyG2090 as a brideG3565 adornedG2885 for her husbandG435. 3And I heardG191 a greatG3173 voiceG5456 out of the throneG2362 sayingG3004, BeholdG2400, the tabernacleG4633 of GodG2316 isG1510 with menG444, and he shall dwellG4637 with them, and they shall beG1510 his peoplesG2992, and GodG2316 himself shall beG1510 with them, and beG1510their GodG2316: 4and he shall wipeG1813 awayG565 every tearG1144 from their eyesG3788; and deathG2288 shall beG1510 no moreG2089; neither shall there beG1510 mourningG3997, nor cryingG2906, nor pain, any moreG2089: the firstG4413 thingsG3956 areG1510 passed awayG565. 5And he that sitteth on the throneG2362 saidG3004, BeholdG2400, I makeG4160 all thingsG3778 newG2537. And he saith, WriteG1125: for these wordsG3056 areG1510 faithfulG4103 and trueG228. 6And he saidG3004 unto me, They are comeG1096 to passG1096. I am the Alpha and the OmegaG5598, the beginning and the endG5056. I will giveG1325 unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the waterG5204 of lifeG2222 freelyG1432. 7He that overcometh shall inheritG2816 these thingsG3778; and I will beG1510 his GodG2316, and he shall beG1510 my sonG5207. 8But for the fearful, and unbelievingG571, and abominable, and murderersG5406, and fornicatorsG4205, and sorcerersG5333, and idolatersG1496, and all liars, their partG3313 shall beG1510 in the lakeG3041 that burneth with fireG4442 and brimstoneG2303; which isG1510 the secondG1208 deathG2288.

9And there cameG2064 oneG1520 of the sevenG2033 angelsG32 who had the sevenG2033 bowlsG5357, who were laden with the sevenG2033 lastG2078 plaguesG4127; and he spake with me, sayingG3004, ComeG2064 hither, I will showG1166 thee the brideG3565, the wifeG1135 of the LambG721. 10And he carried me awayG667 in the SpiritG4151 to a mountainG3735 greatG3173 and highG5308, and showedG1166 me the holyG40 cityG4172 JerusalemG2419, comingG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772 from GodG2316, 11having the gloryG1391 of GodG2316: her light was like unto a stoneG3037 most preciousG5093, as it were a jasperG2393 stoneG3037, clear as crystal: 12having a wallG5038 greatG3173 and highG5308; having twelveG1427 gatesG4440, and at the gatesG4440 twelveG1427 angelsG32; and namesG3686 written thereon, which areG1510 the namesG3686 of the twelveG1427 tribesG5443 of the children of IsraelG2474: 13on the eastG395 were threeG5140 gatesG4440; and on the northG1005 threeG5140 gatesG4440; and on the southG3558 threeG5140 gatesG4440; and on the westG1424 threeG5140 gatesG4440. 14And the wallG5038 of the cityG4172 had twelveG1427 foundationsG2310, and on them twelveG1427 namesG3686 of the twelveG1427 apostlesG652 of the LambG721. 15And he that spake with me had for a measureG3354 a goldenG5552 reedG2563 to measureG3354 the cityG4172, and the gatesG4440 thereof, and the wallG5038 thereof. 16And the cityG4172 lieth foursquare, and the lengthG3372 thereof isG1510 as great as the breadthG4114: and he measuredG3354 the cityG4172 with the reedG2563, twelveG1427 thousandG5505 furlongs: the lengthG3372 and the breadthG4114 and the heightG5311 thereof areG1510 equalG2470. 17And he measuredG3354 the wallG5038 thereof, a hundredG1540 and fortyG5062 and fourG5064 cubitsG4083, according to the measureG3354 of a manG444, that isG1510, of an angelG32. 18And the building of the wallG5038 thereof was jasperG2393: and the cityG4172 was pureG2513 goldG5553, like unto pureG2513 glassG5194. 19The foundationsG2310 of the wallG5038 of the cityG4172 were adornedG2885 with all manner of preciousG5093 stonesG3037. The firstG4413 foundationG2310 was jasperG2393; the secondG1208, sapphire; the thirdG5154, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; 20the fifthG3991, sardonyx; the sixthG1623, sardiusG4556; the seventhG1442, chrysolite; the eighthG3590, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenthG1182, chrysoprase; the eleventhG1734, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. 21And the twelveG1427 gatesG4440 wereG1510 twelveG1427 pearlsG3135; each oneG1520 of the several gatesG4440 wasG1510 of oneG1520 pearlG3135: and the street of the cityG4172 wasG1510 pureG2513 goldG5553, as it wereG1510 transparent glassG5194. 22And I sawG3708 no templeG3485 therein: for the LordG2962 GodG2316 the AlmightyG3841, and the LambG721, areG1510 the templeG3485 thereof. 23And the cityG4172 hath no needG5532 of the sunG2246, neither of the moonG4582, to shineG5316 upon it: for the gloryG1391 of GodG2316 did lighten it, and the lampG3088 thereof is the LambG721. 24And the nationsG1484 shall walkG4043 amidst the lightG5457 thereof: and the kingsG935 of the earthG1093 bringG5342 their gloryG1391 into it. 25And the gatesG4440 thereof shall in no wise beG1510 shutG2808 by dayG2250 (for there shall beG1510 no nightG3571 there): 26and they shall bringG5342 the gloryG1391 and the honorG5092 of the nationsG1484 into it: 27and there shall in no wise enterG1525 into it anything uncleanG2839, or he that maketh an abominationG946 and a lieG5579: but onlyG1487 they that are writtenG1125 in the Lamb’s bookG975 of lifeG2222.
