Revelation 21
1. And I saw * a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away * ; and there was * no more sea.
2. And I John saw * the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down * from God out of heaven,prepared * as a bride adorned * for her husband.
3. And I heard * a great voice out of heaven saying * , Behold * , the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell * with them, and they shall be * his people, and God himself shall be * with them, and be their God.
4. And God shall wipe away * all tears from their eyes; and there shall be * no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,neither shall there be * any more pain: for the former things are passed away * .
5. And he that sat * upon the throne said * , Behold * , I make * all things new. And he said * unto me, Write * : for these words are * true and faithful.
6. And he said * unto me, It is done * . I am * Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give * unto him that is athirst * of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7. He that overcometh * shall inherit * all things; and I will be * his God, and he shall be * my son.
8. But the fearful, and unbelieving,and the abominable * , and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth * with fire and brimstone: which is * the second death.
9. And there came * unto me one of the seven angels which had * the seven vials full * of the seven last plagues, and talked * with me, saying * , Come hither * , I will shew * thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
10. And he carried * me away * in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed * me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending * out of heaven from God,
11. Having * the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal * ;
12. And had * a wall great and high, and had * twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon * , which are * the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
13. On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
14. And the wall of the city had * twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15. And he that talked * with me had * a golden reed to measure * the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
16. And the city lieth * foursquare, and the length is * as large as the breadth: and he measured * the city with the reed , twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are * equal.
17. And he measured * the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man,that is * , of the angel.
18. And the building of the wall of it was * of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
19. And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with * all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire;the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
20. The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth,beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth,a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
21. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was * of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
22. And I saw * no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are * the temple of it.
23. And the city had * no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine * in it: for the glory of God did lighten * it,and the Lamb is the light thereof.
24. And the nations of them which are saved * shall walk * in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring * their glory and honour into it.
25. And the gates of it shall * not * be shut * at all by day: for there shall be * no night there.
26. And they shall bring * the glory and honour of the nations into it.
27. And there shall * in no wise enter * into it any thing that defileth * , neither whatsoever worketh * abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written * in the Lamb's book of life.
