¶ And I saw a new¹ heaven and a new earth: for² the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there³ was no more sea.

And I⁴ John saw the holy⁵ city, new Jerusalem, coming⁶ down from God out of heaven, prepared as⁷ a bride adorned for her husband.

And I heard a great⁸ voice out of heaven saying, Behold⁹, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall¹⁰ be his people, and God himself¹² shall be with them, and be their God.

And God shall¹³ wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no¹⁴ more death, neither sorrow¹⁵, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former¹⁶ things are passed away.

And he that sat¹⁷ upon the throne said, Behold¹⁸, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write¹⁹: for these²⁰ words are true and faithful.

And he said unto me, It is²¹ done. I am²² Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will²³ give unto him that is athirst of the fountain²⁴ of the water of life freely²⁵.

He that overcometh²⁶ shall inherit²⁷ all things²⁸; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

But the fearful²⁹, and unbelieving, and the³⁰ abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters³¹, and all³² liars, shall have their part in the lake³³ which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is³⁴ the second death.

¶ And there came unto me one of the seven angels which³⁵ 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's³⁶ wife.

¶ And he carried³⁷ me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that³⁸ great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

Having the glory³⁹ of God: and her⁴⁰ light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear⁴¹ as crystal;

And had a wall⁴² great and high, and had twelve gates⁴³, and at the gates twelve angels⁴⁴, and names⁴⁵ written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

⁴⁶On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

And the wall of the city had twelve foundations⁴⁷, and in⁴⁸ them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

And he that talked with me had a golden⁴⁹ reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.

And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve⁵¹ thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

And he measured the wall thereof, an⁵² hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.

And the building of the wall of it was of⁵³ jasper: and the city was pure gold, like⁵⁴ unto clear glass.

And the foundations⁵⁵ of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire⁵⁶; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;

¶ 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.

And the twelve⁵⁷ gates were twelve pearls; every several⁵⁸ gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure⁵⁹ gold, as it⁶⁰ were transparent glass.

And I saw⁶¹ no temple therein: for the Lord⁶² God Almighty and the Lamb⁶³ are the temple of it.

And the city⁶⁴ had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for⁶⁵ the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb⁶⁶ is the light thereof.

And the nations⁶⁷ of them which are saved shall walk⁶⁸ in the light of it: and the kings⁶⁹ of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

And the gates⁷⁰ of it shall not be shut at all by day: for⁷¹ there shall be no night there.

And they shall bring the glory⁷² and honour of the nations into it.

And there⁷³ shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh⁷⁴ abomination, or maketh⁷⁵ a lie: but they⁷⁶ which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
