The Revelation of Jesus Christ to John (WEB)

21: 1I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more. ^21:2I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. ^21:3I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, "Behold, God's tent is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. ^21:4He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away. ^21:5He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." He said, "Write, for these words are faithful and true." ^21:6He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life. ^21:7He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son. ^21:8But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."

^21:9One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were laden with the seven last plagues came, and he spoke with me, saying, "Come here. I will show you the wife, the Lamb's bride." ^21:10He carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and shown me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, ^21:11having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, as if it was a jasper stone, clear as crystal; ^21:12having a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel. ^21:13On the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. ^21:14The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb. ^21:15He who spoke with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, its gates, and its walls. ^21:16The city lies foursquare, and its length is as great as its breadth. He measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand stadia. Its length, breadth, and height are equal. ^21:17He measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits, by the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. ^21:18The construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure gold, like pure glass. ^21:19The foundations of the city's wall were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; ^21:20the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; and the twelfth, amethyst. ^21:21The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each one of the gates was made of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. ^21:22I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, and the Lamb, are its temple. ^21:23The city has no need for the sun, neither of the moon, to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb. ^21:24The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring their glory into it. ^21:25Its gates will in no way be shut by day (for there will be no night there), ^21:26and they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it. ^21:27There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
