Revelation 21:23-27

23And the city 1has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for 2the glory of God has illumined it, and its lamp is the 3Lamb.

24 4The nations will walk by its light, and the 5kings of the earth 6will bring their glory into it.

25In the daytime (for 7there will be no night there) 8its gates 9will never be closed;

26and 10they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it;

27and 11nothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those 12whose names are 13written in the Lamb’s book of life.
