Revelation 21
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, because the first heaven and the first earth had passed away; also, the ocean was no more.
2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice out of the throne, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them, their God;
And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying: “Take note, the tabernacle of God is with men and He will dwell with them, and they will be His people. Yes, God Himself will be with them.
4 and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall mourning, nor crying, nor pain he any more; for the former things are passed away.
And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there will be no more death nor sorrow nor crying nor pain—they will exist no more because the first things have gone.”
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he saith, Write; for these words are faithful and true.
Then He who sat on the throne said, “Take note, I make everything new!” And He says to me, “Write, because these words are true and faithful!”
6 And he said to me, All things are accomplished. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To him that thirsteth I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Then He said to me: “I have become the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the one who thirsts I will give of the spring of the water of Life freely.
7 He that overcometh shall inherit these things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be God to him and he will be a son to me.
9 And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven vials filled with the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither; I will show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb.
Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me saying, “Come, I will show you the woman, the Lamb's bride.”
10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
So he transported me in spirit to a great and high mountain and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
11 having the glory of God; her light was like to a most precious stone, as it were a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
having the splendor of God. Her radiance was similar to a most precious stone, like a crystalline jasper stone;
12 having a wall great and high; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel;
she had a tremendous, high wall with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names inscribed, namely the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel;
13 on the east, three gates; and on the north, three gates; and on the south, three gates; and on the west, three gates.
looking from the east, three gates, and from the north, three gates, and from the south, three gates, and from the west, three gates.
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundation-stones, and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15 And he who talked with me had for a measure a golden reed, to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
Now he who spoke with me had a measure, a golden reed, so that he might measure the city and her gates.
16 And the city lieth four-square, and its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
The city is laid out as a square; that is, her length is equal to her width. So he measured the city with the reed at twelve thousand and twelve stadia. Her length and width and height are equal.
17 And he measured the wall thereof, a hundred and forty-four cubits, according to a man's measure, which is that of an angel.
And he measured her wall, one hundred and forty-four cubits, the measure of a man (which is of an angel).
18 And the material of its wall was jasper; and the city was of pure gold, like to clear glass.
The material of her wall was jasper, and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.
19 The foundation-stones of the wall of the city were adorned with all manner of precious stones: the first foundation-stone was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;

20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, hyacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.
the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.
21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

22 And I saw no temple therein; for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb.
I saw no sanctuary in her, because the Lord God, the Almighty, and the Lamb are her sanctuary.
23 And the city hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, to shine upon it; for the glory of God lightened it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
And the city has no need of the sun or the moon, that they should shine on her, because the very glory of God illumines her, and the Lamb is her light.
24 And the nations will walk by the light of it; and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it;
And the nations will walk in her light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into her.
25 and the gates of it shall not be shut by day, for there will be no night there;
Her gates will absolutely not be closed by day (and no night will exist there).
26 and they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.
And they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into her.
27 And there shall not enter into it anything unclean, or that worketh abomination and falsehood; but only they that are written in the Lamb's book of life.
But anything ‘common’ or anyone perpetrating an abomination or a lie will absolutely not enter her; only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
