1 And 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.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them; they shall be his people, and God himself will be with them.
4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more; nor mourning, nor outcry nor pain will be gone, for the former things have passed.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he saith 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; the thirsty I will give from the water of life.
7 He who overcomes 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 fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone. This 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 said to me: Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.
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.
eleven It has the glory of God. Her light was like precious stones, like a jasper, clear as crystal.
12 It has a great and high wall with twelve gates, and twelve angels; on the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
13 on the east three gates, on the north three gates, from the south three gates, on the west three gates.
14 wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 Talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city and its gates and its walls.
16 The city lies foursquare, 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.
17 And he measured its wall a hundred forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
18 The wall was made of jasper, and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.
19 Foundations of the city walls are adorned with every precious stone: The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,
20 the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh hyacinth, the twelfth amethyst.
21 And the twelve gates - twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl. Street of the city - was pure gold, like transparent glass.
22 Temple, I did not see it, for the Lord God Almighty - the temple of it, and the Lamb.
23 And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp - Lamb.
24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honor into it.
25 its gates shall not be shut by day; and night will not be there.
26 And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations.
27 And do not enter into it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
