21:1 And <2532> I saw <1492> (5627) a new <2537> heaven <3772> and <2532> a new <2537> earth <1093>: for <1063> the first <4413> heaven <3772> and <2532> the first <4413> earth <1093> were passed away <3928> (5627); and <2532> there was <2076> (5748) no <3756> more <2089> sea <2281>.
21:2 And <2532> I <1473> John <2491> saw <1492> (5627) the holy <40> city <4172>, new <2537> Jerusalem <2419>, coming down <2597> (5723) from <575> God <2316> out of <1537> heaven <3772>, prepared <2090> (5772) as <5613> a bride <3565> adorned <2885> (5772) for her <846> husband <435>.
21:3 And <2532> I heard <191> (5656) a great <3173> voice <5456> out of <1537> heaven <3772> saying <3004> (5723), Behold <2400> (5628), the tabernacle <4633> of God <2316> [is] with <3326> men <444>, and <2532> he will dwell <4637> (5692) with <3326> them <846>, and <2532> they <846> shall be <2071> (5704) his <846> people <2992>, and <2532> God <2316> himself <846> shall be <2071> (5704) with <3326> them <846>, [and be] their <846> God <2316>.
21:4 And <2532> God <2316> shall wipe away <1813> (5692) all <3956> tears <1144> from <575> their <846> eyes <3788>; and <2532> there shall be <2071> (5704) no <3756> more <2089> death <2288>, neither <3777> sorrow <3997>, nor <3777> crying <2906>, neither <3777> <3756> shall there be <2071> (5704) any more <2089> pain <4192>: for <3754> the former things <4413> are passed away <565> (5627).
21:5 And <2532> he that sat <2521> (5740) upon <1909> the throne <2362> said <2036> (5627), Behold <2400> (5628), I make <4160> (5719) all things <3956> new <2537>. And <2532> he said <3004> (5719) unto me <3427>, Write <1125> (5657): for <3754> these <3778> words <3056> are <1526> (5748) true <228> and <2532> faithful <4103>.
21:6 And <2532> he said <2036> (5627) unto me <3427>, It is done <1096> (5754). I <1473> am <1510> (5748) Alpha <1> and <2532> Omega <5598>, the beginning <746> and <2532> the end <5056>. I <1473> will give <1325> (5692) unto him that is athirst <1372> (5723) of <1537> the fountain <4077> of the water <5204> of life <2222> freely <1432>.
21:7 He that overcometh <3528> (5723) shall inherit <2816> (5692) all things <3956>; and <2532> I will be <2071> (5704) his <846> God <2316>, and <2532> he <846> shall be <2071> (5704) my <3427> son <5207>. {all things: or, these things}
21:8 But <1161> the fearful <1169>, and <2532> unbelieving <571>, and <2532> the abominable <948> (5772), and <2532> murderers <5406>, and <2532> whoremongers <4205>, and <2532> sorcerers <5332>, and <2532> idolaters <1496>, and <2532> all <3956> liars <5571>, shall have their <846> part <3313> in <1722> the lake <3041> which <3588> burneth <2545> (5746) with fire <4442> and <2532> brimstone <2303>: which is <3603> (5748) the second <1208> death <2288>.
21:9 And <2532> there came <2064> (5627) unto <4314> me <3165> one of <1520> the seven <2033> angels <32> which <3588> had <2192> (5723) the seven <2033> vials <5357> full <1073> (5723) of the seven <2033> last <2078> plagues <4127>, and <2532> talked <2980> (5656) with <3326> me <1700>, saying <3004> (5723), Come hither <1204> (5773), I will shew <1166> (5692) thee <4671> the bride <3565>, the Lamb's <721> wife <1135>.
21:10 And <2532> he carried <667> (0) me <3165> away <667> (5656) in <1722> the spirit <4151> to <1909> a great <3173> and <2532> high <5308> mountain <3735>, and <2532> shewed <1166> (5656) me <3427> that great <3173> city <4172>, the holy <40> Jerusalem <2419>, descending <2597> (5723) out of <1537> heaven <3772> from <575> God <2316>,
21:11 Having <2192> (5723) the glory <1391> of God <2316>: and <2532> her <846> light <5458> [was] like <3664> unto a stone <3037> most precious <5093>, even like <5613> a jasper <2393> stone <3037>, clear as crystal <2929> (5723);
21:12 And <5037> had <2192> (5723) a wall <5038> great <3173> and <2532> high <5308>, [and] had <2192> (5723) twelve <1427> gates <4440>, and <2532> at <1909> the gates <4440> twelve <1427> angels <32>, and <2532> names <3686> written thereon <1924> (5772), which <3739> are <2076> (5748) [the names] of the twelve <1427> tribes <5443> of the children <5207> of Israel <2474>:
21:13 On <575> the east <395> three <5140> gates <4440>; on <575> the north <1005> three <5140> gates <4440>; on <575> the south <3558> three <5140> gates <4440>; and <2532> on <575> the west <1424> three <5140> gates <4440>.
21:14 And <2532> the wall <5038> of the city <4172> had <2192> (5723) twelve <1427> foundations <2310>, and <2532> in <1722> them <846> the names <3686> of the twelve <1427> apostles <652> of the Lamb <721>.
21:15 And <2532> he that talked <2980> (5723) with <3326> me <1700> had <2192> (5707) a golden <5552> reed <2563> to <2443> measure <3354> (5661) the city <4172>, and <2532> the gates <4440> thereof <846>, and <2532> the wall <5038> thereof <846>.
21:16 And <2532> the city <4172> lieth <2749> (5736) foursquare <5068>, and <2532> the length <3372> <846> is <2076> (5748) as large <5118> as <3745> <2532> the breadth <4114>: and <2532> he measured <3354> (5656) the city <4172> with the reed <2563> <1909>, twelve <1427> thousand <5505> furlongs <4712>. The length <3372> and <2532> the breadth <4114> and <2532> the height <5311> of it <846> are <2076> (5748) equal <2470>.
21:17 And <2532> he measured <3354> (5656) the wall <5038> thereof <846>, an hundred <1540> [and] forty <5062> [and] four <5064> cubits <4083>, [according to] the measure <3358> of a man <444>, that is <3603> (5748), of the angel <32>.
21:18 And <2532> the building <1739> of the wall <5038> of it <846> was <2258> (5713) [of] jasper <2393>: and <2532> the city <4172> [was] pure <2513> gold <5553>, like <3664> unto clear <2513> glass <5194>.
21:19 And <2532> the foundations <2310> of the wall <5038> of the city <4172> [were] garnished with <2885> (5772) all manner of <3956> precious <5093> stones <3037>. The first <4413> foundation <2310> [was] jasper <2393>; the second <1208>, sapphire <4552>; the third <5154>, a chalcedony <5472>; the fourth <5067>, an emerald <4665>;
21:20 The fifth <3991>, sardonyx <4557>; the sixth <1623>, sardius <4556>; the seventh <1442>, chrysolite <5555>; the eighth <3590>, beryl <969>; the ninth <1766>, a topaz <5116>; the tenth <1182>, a chrysoprasus <5556>; the eleventh <1734>, a jacinth <5192>; the twelfth <1428>, an amethyst <271>.
21:21 And <2532> the twelve <1427> gates <4440> [were] twelve <1427> pearls <3135>; every <1538> <303> several <1520> gate <4440> was <2258> (5713) of <1537> one <1520> pearl <3135>: and <2532> the street <4113> of the city <4172> [was] pure <2513> gold <5553>, as it were <5613> transparent <1307> glass <5194>.
21:22 And <2532> I saw <1492> (5627) no <3756> temple <3485> therein <1722> <846>: for <1063> the Lord <2962> God <2316> Almighty <3841> and <2532> the Lamb <721> are <2076> (5748) the temple <3485> of it <846>.
21:23 And <2532> the city <4172> had <2192> (5719) no <3756> need <5532> of the sun <2246>, neither <3761> of the moon <4582>, to <2443> shine <5316> (5725) in <1722> it <846>: for <1063> the glory <1391> of God <2316> did lighten <5461> (5656) it <846>, and <2532> the Lamb <721> [is] the light <3088> thereof <846>.
21:24 And <2532> the nations <1484> of them which are saved <4982> (5746) shall walk <4043> (5692) in <1722> the light <5457> of it <846>: and <2532> the kings <935> of the earth <1093> do bring <5342> (5719) their <846> glory <1391> and <2532> honour <5092> into <1519> it <846>.
21:25 And <2532> the gates <4440> of it <846> shall <2808> (0) not <3364> (0) be shut <2808> (5686) at all <3364> by day <2250>: for <1063> there shall be <2071> (5704) no <3756> night <3571> there <1563>.
21:26 And <2532> they shall bring <5342> (5692) the glory <1391> and <2532> honour <5092> of the nations <1484> into <1519> it <846>.
21:27 And <2532> there shall <1525> (0) in no wise <3364> enter <1525> (5632) into <1519> it <846> any thing <3956> that defileth <2840> (5723), neither <2532> [whatsoever] worketh <4160> (5723) abomination <946>, or <2532> [maketh] a lie <5579>: but <1508> they which are written <1125> (5772) in <1722> the Lamb's <721> book <975> of life <2222>.
