* I saw a new heaven and a new earth : for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away . There was no more sea . * Then I , John , saw the holy city , New Jerusalem , coming down from God out of heaven , prepared as a bride adorned for her husband . * Then I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying : "Behold , the tabernacle of God is with men . He will dwell with them and they will be his people ! God will be with them , and be their God . * "God will wipe away all tears from their eyes . There will be no more death . There will be no more sorrow nor crying . There will be no more pain ! The former things have passed away ." * He who sat on the throne said : "Behold , I make all things new . Then he told me to write : for these words are faithful and true ." * And he said to me : "It is done ! I am Alpha and Omega , the beginning and the end . I will give to him who thirsts from the fountain of the water of life freely . * "He who overcomes will inherit all things . I will be his God , and he will be my son . * "But the fearful and unbelieving , abominable and murderers , fornicators and those practicing spiritism , idolaters and all liars shall have their part in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur : which is the second death ." * One of the seven angels came to me . He had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues . He said : "Come here , I will show you the bride , the Lamb 's wife ." * He carried me away in spirit to a great and high mountain , and showed me that great city , the holy city Jerusalem , descending out of heaven from God . * She had the glory of God . Her light was like a very precious stone , even like a jasper stone , clear as crystal . * The city had a wall great and high , and had twelve gates , and at the gates twelve angels , and names written on each gate , the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel : * On the east three gates ; on the north three gates ; on the south three gates ; and on the west three gates . * The wall of the city had twelve foundations , and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb . * He who talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city and the gates and the wall . * And the city lies foursquare . The length is as large as the width . He measured the city with the reed , fourteen hundred miles . The length and the width and the height of it are equal . * He measured the wall , two hundred feet , according to the measure of a man , that is , of the angel . * The structure of the wall was jasper : and the city was pure gold , like clear glass . * 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 , chalcedony ; the fourth , an emerald ; * the fifth , sardonyx ; the sixth , sardius ; the seventh , chrysolyte ; the eighth , beryl ; the ninth , topaz ; the tenth , chrysoprase ; the eleventh , hyacinth ; the twelfth , amethyst . * The twelve gates were twelve pearls . Each individual gate was one pearl . The street of the city was pure gold , as transparent glass . * I saw no temple there : for the Jehovah God the Almighty and the Lamb are the temple . * The city did not need the sun or the moon to shine on it . For the glory of God and of the Lamb was its light . * The nations will walk by means of its light . The kings of the earth bring their glory into it . * Its gates will not close in the daytime and there will be no night there . * They will bring the glory of the nations into it . * Nothing impure will ever enter it . The shameful and deceitful will not enter . Only those who are written in the Lamb 's book of life will enter .
