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, chrysolite;
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.
