Revelation 21:12-27
12The city hadG2192 a greatG3173 andG2532 highG5308 wallG5038 withG2192 twelveG1427 gatesG4440 inscribedG2532G1924 with theG3588 namesG3686 of theG3588 twelveG1427 tribesG5443 of IsraelG2474, andG2532 twelveG1427 angelsG32 atG1909 theG3588 gatesG4440. 13There were threeG5140 gatesG4440 onG575 the eastG395, threeG5140 onG575 the northG1005, threeG5140 onG575 the southG3558, andG2532 threeG5140 onG575 the westG1424. 14TheG3588 wallG5038 of theG3588 cityG4172 hadG2192 twelveG1427 foundationsG2310 bearing the namesG3686 of theG3588 twelveG1427 apostlesG652 of theG3588 LambG721.
TheG3588 angel who spokeG2980 withG3326 meG1473 hadG2192 a goldenG5552 measuringG3358 rodG2563 toG2443 measureG3354 theG3588 cityG4172 andG2532 itsG846 gatesG4440 andG2532 wallsG5038. 16TheG3588 cityG4172 liesG2749 foursquareG5068, withG2532 its widthG4114 the same asG3745 itsG846 lengthG3372. AndG2532 he measuredG3354 theG3588 cityG4172 with theG3588 rodG2563, and all its dimensions wereG1510 equalG2470—12,000G1427G5505 stadiaG47121 inG3588 lengthG3372 andG2532 widthG4114 andG2532 heightG5311. 17AndG2532 he measuredG3354 itsG846 wallG5038 to be 144G1540G5062G5064 cubitsG4083,2 by the humanG444 measureG3358 the angelG32 wasG1510 using.
TheG3588 wallG5038 was made ofG1739 jasperG2393, andG2532 theG3588 cityG4172 itself of pureG2513 goldG5553, asG3664 pure asG2513 glassG5194. 19TheG3588 foundationsG2310 of theG3588 cityG4172 wallsG5038 were adornedG2885 with every kind ofG3956 preciousG5093 stoneG3037:
TheG3588 firstG4413 foundationG2310 was jasperG2393, theG3588 secondG1208 sapphireG4552, theG3588 thirdG5154 chalcedonyG5472, theG3588 fourthG5067 emeraldG4665, 20theG3588 fifthG3991 sardonyxG4557, theG3588 sixthG1623 carnelianG4556, theG3588 seventhG1442 chrysoliteG5555, theG3588 eighthG3590 berylG969, theG3588 ninthG1766 topazG5116, theG3588 tenthG1182 chrysopraseG5556, theG3588 eleventhG1734 jacinthG5192, and theG3588 twelfthG1428 amethystG271.
21AndG2532 theG3588 twelveG1427 gatesG4440 were twelveG1427 pearlsG3135, with eachG1538 gateG4440 consistingG303G1510 ofG1537 a singleG1520 pearlG3135. TheG3588 main streetG4113 of theG3588 cityG4172 was pureG2513 goldG5553, asG5613 clearG1306 as glassG5194.
22But I sawG3708 noG3756 templeG3485 inG1722 the city, becauseG1063 theG3588 LordG2962 GodG2316 AlmightyG3841 andG2532 theG3588 LambG721 areG1510 itsG846 templeG3485. 23AndG2532 theG3588 cityG4172 hasG2192 noG3756 needG5532 ofG3588 sunG2246 or moonG4582 toG2443 shineG5316 on itG846, becauseG1063 theG3588 gloryG1391 of GodG2316 illuminatesG5461 the city, andG2532 theG3588 LambG721 is itsG846 lampG3088. 24ByG1223 itsG846 lightG5457 theG3588 nationsG1484 will walkG4043, andG2532 intoG1519 itG846 theG3588 kingsG935 of theG3588 earthG1093 will bringG5342 theirG846 gloryG1391.3 25ItsG846 gatesG4440 will never be shutG3756G3361G2808 at the end of the dayG2250, becauseG1063 there will beG1510 noG3756 nightG3571 thereG1563.
26AndG2532 intoG1519 the city will be broughtG5342 theG3588 gloryG1391 andG2532 honorG5092 of theG3588 nationsG1484. 27But nothingG3756G3361G3956 uncleanG2839 will ever enterG1525G1519 itG846, nor anyone whoG3588 practicesG4160 an abominationG946 or a lieG5579, but onlyG1487G3361 those whoseG3588 names are writtenG1125 inG1722 theG3588 Lamb’sG721 BookG975 of LifeG2222.
