14And the wall of the city had twelve foundations: And in them, the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb,

15And he that spoke with me had a measure of a reed of gold, to measure the city and the gates thereof and the wall.

16And the city lieth in a four-square: and the length thereof is as great as the breadth. And he measured the city with the golden reed for twelve thousand furlongs: and the length and the height and the breadth thereof are equal.

17And he measured the wall thereof an hundred forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, which is of an angel.

18And the building of the wall thereof was of jasper stone: but the city itself pure gold like to clear glass.

19And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper: the second, sapphire: the third; a chalcedony: the fourth, an emerald:

20The 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.

21And the twelve gates are twelve pearls, one to each: and every several gate was of one several pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, as it were, transparent glass.

22And I saw no temple therein. For the Lord God Almighty is the temple thereof, and the Lamb.

23And the city hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, to shine in it. For the glory of God hath enlightened it: and the Lamb is the lamp thereof.

24And the nations shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honour into it.

25And the gates thereof shall not be shut by day: for there shall be no night there.

26And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.

27There shall not enter into it any thing defiled or that worketh abomination or maketh a lie: but they that are written in the book of life of the Lamb.
