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, chrysolyte; 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. |
