Revelation 21:19-27

19The foundations of the city wall were adorned with every kind of jewel: the first foundation is jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,

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

21The twelve gates are twelve pearls; each individual gate was made of a single pearl. The main street of the city was pure gold, transparent as glass.

22I did not see a temple in it, because the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

23The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, because the glory of God illuminates it, and its lamp is the Lamb.

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

25Its gates will never close by day because it will never be night there.

26They will bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.

27Nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those written in the Lamb’s book of life.
