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. ²And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. ³And I heard a great voice from heaven saying, Look, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will live with them, and they will be his people, and the very God will be with them and be their God; ⁴And he will wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there will not be death any longer, nor sorrow nor wailing, nor will there be pain any longer; for the former things have passed away. ⁵And he who sat on the throne said, Look, I make all things new. Then he said to me, Write! For these are the trustworthy and true words of God. ⁶And he said to me, I am Aleph and Tau, the beginning and the end. I will freely give of the fountain of living water to him who is thirsty. ⁷He who overcomes will inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he will be my son. ⁸But as for the fearful and the unbelieving and the sinful and the abominable and murderers and those who commit adultery and magicians and idolaters and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the 2nd death.

⁹And 1 of the 7 angels came to me, who had the 7 bowls full of the 7 last plagues, and he talked with me, saying, Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb. ¹⁰And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, ¹¹Having the glory of God, radiant as a brilliant light, resembling a very precious gem, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. ¹²It had a wall great and high and it had 12 gates, with names inscribed on them, which are the names of the 12 tribes of the children of Israel. ¹³On the east were 3 gates, on the north 3 gates, on the south 3 gates, and on the west 3 gates. ¹⁴And the wall of the city had 12 foundations, and on them the 12 names of the 12 apostles of the Lamb. ¹⁵And he who talked with me had a measuring rod of golden reed to measure the city and its gates and its wall. ¹⁶And the city was laid 4-square, the length the same as the breadth; and he measured the city with the reed, 12 furlongs, 12,000 paces. And the length and breadth and the height were equal. ¹⁷And he measured the wall, 144 cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. ¹⁸And the wall was constructed of jasper; and the city itself was pure gold, resembling clear glass. ¹⁹And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The 1st foundation was jasper, the 2nd sapphire, the 3rd chalcedony, the 4th emerald, ²⁰The 5th sardonyx, the 6th sardius, the 7th chrysolyte, the 8th beryl, the 9th topaz, the 10th chrysoprasus, the 11th jacinth, the 12th amethyst. ²¹And the 12 gates were adorned with 12 pearls, 1 for each of the gates, and each gate was made of a single pearl; and the great street of the city was of pure gold, as it were transparent glass. ²²But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. ²³The city has no need of the sun, nor of the moon, to shine in it, for the glory of God brightens it and the Lamb is the lamp of it. ²⁴And the people who have been saved will walk by that very light; and the kings of the earth will bring their own glory and the honor of the peoples into it. ²⁵And the gates of it will not be barred by day, for there is no night there. ²⁶And they will bring the glory and the honor of the peoples into it. ²⁷And there will not enter into it anything which defiles nor he who works abominations and lies; only those will enter whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.
