Revelation 21:22-27

22I saw 1no 2temple in it, for the 3Lord God the Almighty and the 4Lamb are its 5temple.

23And the city 6has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for 7the glory of God has illumined it, and its lamp is the 8Lamb.

24 9The nations will walk by its light, and the 10kings of the earth 11will bring their glory into it.

25In the daytime (for 12there will be no night there) 13its gates 14will never be closed;

26and 15they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it;

27and 16nothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those 17whose names are 18written in the Lamb’s book of life.
