Revelation 21:14–27

¹⁴And the wall of the city had ^atwelve foundation stones, and on them were the twelve names of the ^btwelve apostles of the Lamb.

¹⁵And the one who spoke with me had a ¹gold measuring ^arod to measure the city and its ^bgates and its wall.

¹⁶And the city is laid out as a square, and its length is as great as the width; and he measured the city with the ¹rod, ²12,000 stadia; its length and width and height are equal.

¹⁷And he measured its wall, ¹144 cubits, according to ^ahuman ²measurements, which are also ^bangelic measurements.

¹⁸And the material of the wall was ^ajasper, and the city was ^bpure gold, like pure ^cglass.

^19aThe foundation stones of the city wall were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation stone was ^bjasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, ^cemerald;

²⁰the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, ^asardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.

²¹And the twelve ^agates were twelve ^bpearls; each one of the gates was a single pearl. And the street of the city was ^cpure gold, like transparent ^dglass.

²²And I saw ^ano sanctuary in it, for the ^bLord God the Almighty and the ^cLamb are its sanctuary.

²³And the city ^ahas no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for ^bthe glory of God has illumined it, and its lamp is the ^cLamb.

^24aAnd the nations will walk by its light, and the ^bkings of the earth ¹will bring their glory into it.

^25aAnd its gates ^bwill never be closed by day, for ^cthere will be no night there;

²⁶and ^athey will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.

²⁷And ^anothing defiled, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those ¹whose names are ^bwritten in the Lamb’s book of life.
