CHAPTER 21

:1  And I saw <G 1492> a new <G 2537> heaven <G 3772> and a new

<G 2537> earth

<G 1093>: for the first <G 4413> heaven <G 3772> and the first

<G 4413> earth <G

1093> were passed <G 3928> away; and there was no <G 3756> more

<G 2089> sea <G

2281>.

:2  And I John <G 2491> saw <G 1492> the holy <G 0040> city <G

4172>, new <G

2537> Jerusalem <G 2419>, coming <G 2597> down <G 2597> from God

<G 2316> out of

heaven <G 3772>, prepared <G 2090> as a bride <G 3565> adorned

<G 2885> for her

husband <G 0435>.

:3  And I heard <G 0191> a great <G 3173> voice <G 5456> out of

heaven <G 3772>

saying <G 3004>, Behold <G 2400>, the tabernacle <G 4633> of God

<G 2316> [is]

with men <G 0444>, and he will dwell <G 4637> with them, and

they shall be his

people <G 2992>, and God <G 2316> himself <G 0846> shall be with

them, [and be]

their God <G 2316>.

:4  And God <G 2316> shall wipe <G 1813> away <G 1813> all <G

3956> tears <G

1144> from their eyes <G 3788>; and there shall be no <G 3756>

more <G 2089>

death <G 2288>, neither <G 3777> sorrow <G 3997>, nor <G 3777>

crying <G 2906>,

neither shall there be any <G 2089> more <G 2089> pain <G 4192>:

for the former

<G 4413> things are passed <G 0565> away <G 0565>.

:5  And he that sat <G 2521> upon the throne <G 2362> said <G

2036>, Behold <G

2400>, I make <G 4160> all <G 3956> things new <G 2537>. And he

said <G 3004>

unto me, Write <G 1125>: for these <G 3778> words <G 3056> are

true <G 0228> and

faithful <G 4103>.

:6  And he said <G 2036> unto me, It is done <G 1096>  I am <G

1510> Alpha <G

0001> and Omega <G 5598>, the beginning <G 0746> and the end <G

5056>. I will

give <G 1325> unto him that is athirst <G 1372> of the fountain

<G 4077> of the

water <G 5204> of life <G 2222> freely <G 1432>.

:7  He that overcometh <G 3528> shall inherit <G 2816> all <G

3956> things; and

I will be his God <G 2316>, and he shall be my son <G 5207>.

:8  But the fearful <G 1169>, and unbelieving <G 0571>, and the

abominable <G

0948>, and murderers <G 5406>, and whoremongers <G 4205>, and

sorcerers <G

5332>, and idolaters <G 1496>, and all <G 3956> liars <G 5571>,

shall have their

part <G 3313> in the lake <G 3041> which <G 3739> burneth <G

2545> with fire <G

4442> and brimstone <G 2303>: which <G 3739> is the second <G

1208> death <G

2288>.

:9  And there came <G 2064> unto me one <G 1520> of the seven <G

2033> angels <G

0032> which <G 3588> had <G 2192> the seven <G 2033> vials <G

5357> full <G

1073> of the seven <G 2033> last <G 2078> plagues <G 4127>, and

talked <G 2980>

with me, saying <G 3004>, Come <G 1204> hither <G 1204>, I will

shew <G 1166>

thee the bride <G 3565>, the Lamb's <G 0721> wife <G 1135>.

:10  And he carried <G 0667> me away <G 0667> in the spirit <G

4151> to a great

<G 3173> and high <G 5308> mountain <G 3735>, and shewed <G

1166> me that great

<G 3173> city <G 4172>, the holy <G 0040> Jerusalem <G 2419>,

descending <G

2597> out of heaven <G 3772> from God <G 2316>,

:11  Having <G 2192> the glory <G 1391> of God <G 2316>: and her

light <G 5458>

[was] like <G 3664> unto a stone <G 3037> most precious <G 5093>,

 even <G 5613>

like <G 5613> a jasper <G 2393> stone <G 3037>, clear <G 2929>

as crystal <G

2929>;

:12  And had <G 2192> a wall <G 5038> great <G 3173> and high <G

5308>, [and]

had <G 2192> twelve <G 1427> gates <G 4440>, and at <G 1909> the

gates <G 4440>

twelve <G 1427> angels <G 0032>, and names <G 3686> written <G

1924> thereon <G

1924>, which <G 3739> are [the names] of the twelve <G 1427>

tribes <G 5443> of

the children <G 5207> of Israel <G 2474>:

:13  On <G 0575> the east <G 0395> three <G 5140> gates <G 4440>;

 on <G 0575>

the north <G 1005> three <G 5140> gates <G 4440>; on <G 0575>

the south <G 3558>

three <G 5140> gates <G 4440>; and on <G 0575> the west <G 1424>

three <G 5140>

gates <G 4440>.

:14  And the wall <G 5038> of the city <G 4172> had <G 2192>

twelve <G 1427>

foundations <G 2310>, and in them the names <G 3686> of the

twelve <G 1427>

apostles <G 0652> of the Lamb <G 0721>.

:15  And he that talked <G 2980> with me had <G 2192> a golden

<G 5552> reed <G

2563> to measure <G 3354> the city <G 4172>, and the gates <G

4440> thereof <G

0846>, and the wall <G 5038> thereof <G 0846>.

:16  And the city <G 4172> lieth <G 2749> foursquare <G 5068>,

and the length <G

3372> is as large <G 5118> as the breadth <G 4114>: and he

measured <G 3354> the

city <G 4172> with the reed <G 2563>, twelve <G 1427> thousand

<G 5505> furlongs

<G 4712>. The length <G 3372> and the breadth <G 4114> and the

height <G 5311>

of it are equal <G 2470>.

:17  And he measured <G 3354> the wall <G 5038> thereof <G 0846>,

 an hundred <G

1540> [and] forty <G 5062> [and] four <G 5064> cubits <G 4083>,

[according to]

the measure <G 3358> of a man <G 0444>, that is, of the angel <G

0032>.

:18  And the building <G 1739> of the wall <G 5038> of it was

[of] jasper <G

2393>: and the city <G 4172> [was] pure <G 2513> gold <G 5553>,

like <G 3664>

unto clear <G 2513> glass <G 5194>.

:19  And the foundations <G 2310> of the wall <G 5038> of the

city <G 4172>

[were] garnished <G 2885> with all <G 3956> manner of precious

<G 5093> stones

<G 3037>. The first <G 4413> foundation <G 2310> [was] jasper <G

2393>; the

second <G 1208>, sapphire <G 4552>; the third <G 5154>, a

chalcedony <G 5472>;

the fourth <G 5067>, an emerald <G 4665>;

:20  The fifth <G 3991>, sardonyx <G 4557>; the sixth <G 1623>,

sardius <G

4556>; the seventh <G 1442>, chrysolite <G 5555>; the eighth <G

3590>, beryl <G

0969>; the ninth <G 1766>, a topaz <G 5116>; the tenth <G 1182>,

a chrysoprasus

<G 5556>; the eleventh <G 1734>, a jacinth <G 5192>; the twelfth

<G 1428>, an

amethyst <G 0271>.

:21  And the twelve <G 1427> gates <G 4440> [were] twelve <G

1427> pearls <G

3135>; every <G 1538> several <G 1520> gate <G 4440> was of one

<G 1520> pearl

<G 1328>: and the street <G 4113> of the city <G 4172> [was]

pure <G 2513> gold

<G 5553>, as it were transparent <G 1307> glass <G 5194>.

:22  And I saw <G 1492> no <G 3756> temple <G 3485> therein <G

0846>: for the

Lord <G 2962> God <G 2316> Almighty <G 3841> and the Lamb <G

0721> are the

temple <G 3485> of it.

:23  And the city <G 4172> had <G 2192> no <G 3756> need <G

5532> of the sun <G

2246>, neither <G 3761> of the moon <G 4582>, to shine <G 5316>

in it: for the

glory <G 1391> of God <G 2316> did lighten <G 5461> it, and the

Lamb <G 0721>

[is] the light <G 3088> thereof <G 0846>.

:24  And the nations <G 1484> of them which are saved <G 4982>

shall walk <G

4043> in the light <G 5457> of it: and the kings <G 0935> of the

earth <G 1093>

do bring <G 5342> their glory <G 1391> and honour <G 5092> into

<G 1519> it.

:25  And the gates <G 4440> of it shall not be shut <G 2808> at

all <G 3364> by

day <G 2250>: for there shall be no <G 3756> night <G 3571>

there <G 1563>.

:26  And they shall bring <G 5342> the glory <G 1391> and honour

<G 5092> of the

nations <G 1484> into <G 1519> it.

:27  And there shall in no <G 3364> wise enter <G 1525> into <G

1519> it any <G

3956> thing that defileth <G 2840>, neither [whatsoever] worketh

<G 4160>

abomination <G 0946>, or <G 2532> [maketh] a lie <G 5579>: but

they which are

written <G 1125> in the Lamb's <G 0721> book <G 0975> of life <G

2222>.
