And I saw a newheavenand a newearth:for the firstheavenand the firstearth were passed away; and there wasnomoresea.
2
AndIJohnsaw the holycity,newJerusalem, coming downfromGod out ofheaven,preparedas a brideadorned for herhusband.
3
And I heard a greatvoice out ofheavensaying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is withmen,and he will dwellwiththem,andthey shall behispeople,andGodhimself shall bewiththem, and be theirGod.
4
AndGod shall wipe awayalltearsfromtheireyes;and there shall benomoredeath,neithersorrow,norcrying,neithershall there be any morepain:for the former things are passed away.
5
And he that satupon the thronesaid, Behold, I make all thingsnew.And he said unto me,Write: forthesewordsaretrueandfaithful.
6
And he said unto me, It is done. IamAlphaandOmega, the beginningand the end.I will give unto him that is athirstof the fountain of the water of lifefreely.
7
He that overcometh shall inherit all things;[a]and I will behisGod,andhe shall bemyson.
8
But the fearful,andunbelieving,and the abominable, andmurderers,andwhoremongers,andsorcerers,andidolaters,andallliars, shall have theirpartin the lakewhichburneth with fireandbrimstone: which is the seconddeath.
9
And there cameuntome one of the sevenangelswhichhad the sevenvialsfull of the sevenlastplagues,andtalkedwithme,saying, Come hither, I will shewthee the bride, the Lamb'swife.
10
And he carriedmeawayin the spiritto a greatandhighmountain,andshewedme that greatcity, the holyJerusalem,descending out ofheavenfromGod,
11
Having the glory of God:andherlight was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasperstone, clear as crystal;
12
Andhad a wallgreatandhigh, and hadtwelvegates,andat the gatestwelveangels,andnames written thereon, whichare the names of the twelvetribes of the children of Israel:
13
On the eastthreegates;on the norththreegates;on the souththreegates;andon the westthreegates.
14
And the wall of the cityhadtwelvefoundations,andinthem the names of the twelveapostles of the Lamb.
15
And he that talkedwithmehad a goldenreedtomeasure the city,and the gatesthereof,and the wallthereof.
16
And the cityliethfoursquare,and the length*is as largeasthebreadth:and he measured the city with the reed*, twelvethousandfurlongs. The lengthand the breadthand the height of itareequal.
17
And he measured the wallthereof, an hundred and forty and fourcubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
18
And the building of the wall of itwas of jasper:and the city was puregold,like unto clearglass.
19
And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner ofpreciousstones. The firstfoundation 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

22
And I sawnotempletherein*: for the LordGodAlmightyand the Lambare the temple of it.
23
And the cityhadnoneed of the sun,neither of the moon,toshineinit:for the glory of God did lightenit,and the Lamb is the lightthereof.
24
And the nations of them which are saved shall walkin the light of it:and the kings of the earth do bringtheirgloryandhonourintoit.
25
And the gates of itshallnot be shut at all by day:for there shall benonightthere.
26
And they shall bring the gloryandhonour of the nationsintoit.
27
And there shall in no wiseenterintoit any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever workethabomination,or maketh a lie:but they which are writtenin the Lamb'sbook of life.
