Revelation 21:2-27
2And I sawG3708 the holyG40 cityG4172, newG2537 JerusalemG2419, comingG2597 downG2597 out of the heavenG3772 from 1GodG2316, preparedG2090 as a brideG3565 adornedG2885 for her husbandG435. 3And I heardG191 a loudG3173 voiceG5456 out of the heaven, sayingG3004, BeholdG2400, the tabernacleG4633 of 2GodG2316 [isG1510] with menG444, and he shall tabernacleG4633 with them, and they shall beG1510 his peopleG2992, and 3GodG2316 himself shall beG1510 with them, their 4GodG2316. 4And he shall wipeG1813 awayG565 every tearG1144 from their eyesG3788; and deathG2288 shall not exist any moreG2089, nor grief, nor cry, nor distress shall exist any moreG2089, for the former thingsG3956 have passed awayG565. 5And he that satG2521 on the throneG2362 saidG3004, BeholdG2400, I makeG4160 all thingsG3778 newG2537. And he saysG3004 [to me], WriteG1125, for these wordsG3056 areG1510 trueG228 and faithfulG4103. 6And he saidG3004 to me, It is done. I am the Alpha and the OmegaG5598, the beginning and the endG5056. I will giveG1325 to him that thirstsG1372 of the fountain of the waterG5204 of lifeG2222 freelyG1432. 7He that overcomesG3528 shall inheritG2816 these thingsG3778, and I will beG1510 to him 5GodG2316, and he shall beG1510 to me sonG5207. 8But to the fearful and unbelievingG571, [and sinners], and those who make themselves abominable, and murderersG5406, and fornicatorsG4205, and sorcerersG5333, and idolatersG1496, and all liars, their partG3313 [isG1510] in the lakeG3041 which burnsG2545 with fireG4442 and brimstoneG2303; which isG1510 the secondG1208 deathG2288. 9And there cameG2064 oneG1520 of the sevenG2033 angelsG32 which had had the sevenG2033 bowlsG5357 fullG1073 of the sevenG2033 lastG2078 plaguesG4127, and spokeG2980 with me, sayingG3004, ComeG2064 hereG1204, I will shew thee the brideG3565, the Lamb's wifeG1135. 10And he carried me awayG667 in [the] SpiritG4151, [and set me] on a greatG3173 and highG5308 mountainG3735, and shewed me the holyG40 cityG4172, JerusalemG2419, comingG2597 downG2597 out of the heavenG3772 from 6GodG2316, 11having the gloryG1391 of 7GodG2316. Her shining [was] like a most preciousG5093 stoneG3037, as a crystal-like jasperG2393 stoneG3037; 12having a greatG3173 and highG5308 wallG5038; having twelveG1427 gatesG4440, and at the gatesG4440 twelveG1427 angelsG32, and namesG3686 inscribed, which areG1510 those of the twelveG1427 tribesG5443 of [the] sonsG5207 of IsraelG2474. 13On [the] eastG395 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 spokeG2980 with me had a goldenG5552 reedG2563 [as] a measureG3354, that he might measureG3354 the cityG4172, and its gatesG4440, and its wallG5038. 16And the cityG4172 liesG2749 four-square, and its lengthG3372 [isG1510] as muchG3745 as the breadthG4114. And he measuredG3354 the cityG4172 with the reedG2563 — twelveG1427 thousandG5505 stadia: the lengthG3372 and the breadthG4114 and heightG5311 of it areG1510 equalG2470. 17And he measuredG3354 its wallG5038, a hundredG1540 [and] forty-fourG5062 cubitsG4083, [a] man's measureG3354, that isG1510, [the] angel's. 18And the building of its wallG5038 [was] jasperG2393; and the cityG4172 pureG2513 goldG5553, like pureG2513 glassG5194: 19the foundationsG2310 of the wallG5038 of the cityG4172 [were] adornedG2885 with every preciousG5093 stoneG3037: the firstG4413 foundationG2310, 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, chrysoprasus; the eleventhG1734, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. 21And the twelveG1427 gatesG4440, twelveG1427 pearlsG3135; each oneG1520 of the gatesG4440, respectively, wasG1510 of oneG1520 pearlG3135; and the street of the cityG4172 pureG2513 goldG5553, as transparent glassG5194. 22And I sawG3708 no templeG3485 in it; for the LordG2962 8GodG2316 AlmightyG3841 isG1510 its templeG3485, and the LambG721. 23And the cityG4172 has no needG5532 of the sunG2246 nor of the moonG4582, that they should shineG5316 for it; for the gloryG1391 of 9GodG2316 has enlightenedG5461 it, and the lampG3088 thereof [is] the LambG721. 24And the nationsG1484 shall walkG4043 by its lightG5457; and the kingsG935 of the earthG1093 bringG5342 their gloryG1391 to it. 25And its gatesG4440 shall not beG1510 shutG2808 at all by dayG2250, for nightG3571 shall not beG1510 there. 26And they shall bringG5342 the gloryG1391 and the honour of the nationsG1484 to it. 27And nothing commonG2839, nor that maketh an abominationG946 and a lieG5579, shall at all enterG1525 into it; but those onlyG1487 who [are] writtenG1125 in the bookG975 of lifeG2222 of the LambG721.
