Revelation 21:19-27

19The wall of the city was built on foundation stones inlaid with twelve precious stones: the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,

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

21The twelve gates were made of pearls—each gate from a single pearl! And the main street was pure gold, as clear as glass.

22I saw no temple in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

23And the city has no need of sun or moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its light.

24The nations will walk in its light, and the kings of the world will enter the city in all their glory.

25Its gates will never be closed at the end of day because there is no night there.

26And all the nations will bring their glory and honor into the city.

27Nothing evil will be allowed to enter, nor anyone who practices shameful idolatry and dishonesty—but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
