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>.
