Revelation 21 — GNB
21Verse 1And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.Verse 2And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.Verse 3And I heard a loud voice out of the throne, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them, their God;Verse 4and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall mourning, nor crying, nor pain he any more; for the former things are passed away.Verse 5And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he saith, Write; for these words are faithful and true.Verse 6And he said to me, All things are accomplished. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To him that thirsteth I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely.Verse 7He that overcometh shall inherit these things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.Verse 8But the cowardly, and unbelieving, and the polluted with abominations, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.Verse 9And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven vials filled with the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither; I will show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb.Verse 10And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,Verse 11having the glory of God; her light was like to a most precious stone, as it were a jasper stone, clear as crystal;Verse 12having a wall great and high; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel;Verse 13on the east, three gates; and on the north, three gates; and on the south, three gates; and on the west, three gates.Verse 14And the wall of the city had twelve foundation-stones, and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.Verse 15And he who talked with me had for a measure a golden reed, to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.Verse 16And the city lieth four-square, and its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.Verse 17And he measured the wall thereof, a hundred and forty-four cubits, according to a man's measure, which is that of an angel.Verse 18And the material of its wall was jasper; and the city was of pure gold, like to clear glass.Verse 19The foundation-stones of the wall of the city were adorned with all manner of precious stones: the first foundation-stone was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;Verse 20the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, hyacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.Verse 21And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.Verse 22And I saw no temple therein; for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb.Verse 23And the city hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, to shine upon it; for the glory of God lightened it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.Verse 24And the nations will walk by the light of it; and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it;Verse 25and the gates of it shall not be shut by day, for there will be no night there;Verse 26and they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.Verse 27And there shall not enter into it anything unclean, or that worketh abomination and falsehood; but only they that are written in the Lamb's book of life.
