Revelation 21

Thomson(i) 1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the former heaven and the former earth were passed away and the sea is no more. 2 And I John saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, Behold the tabernacle of God with men! and he will dwell with them; and they will be his people; and God himself will be with them their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. And there shall no more be death; nor shall grief, nor screaming, nor pain be any more; for the former things are gone. 5 And he who sat on the throne said, Behold I make all things new. Then he saith to me, Write that these words are true and faithful; 6 and he said to me, It is done; I am the Alpha and the Omega the beginning and the end; to him who thirsteth I will give without cost from the fountain of the water of life. 7 He who overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God and he shall be my son: 8 but the cowards and the unbelieving and abominable and murderers and prostitutes, and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars shall have their portion in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone. This is the second death. 9 Then one of the angels who had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues came to me and spoke to me saying, Come let me shew thee the bride the Lamb's wife. 10 And he carried me away in spirit to a great and high mountain and shewed me the great city: the holy Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, 11 having the glory of God. And its lustre was like a most precious stone, like a jasper shining as chrystal; 12 and it had a great and high wall with twelve gates and at the gates twelve angels and [on the gates] were graven the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel 13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; on the west three gates. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations on which were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 And he who was talking with me had a golden reed to measure the city and its gates and its wall. 16 Now the city is a square and its length is as much as its breadth. And he measured the city with the rod twelve thousand furlongs; the length and the breadth and the height are equal. 17 And he measured its wall, a hundred and forty four cubits, the measure of a man which is that of an angel. 18 And its wall was built of jasper and the city was pure gold, like clear glass. 19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every precious stone. The first foundation was jasper; and the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; 20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardus; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, hyacinth; 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 in it I saw no temple; for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb is its temple. 23 And the city had no need of the sun nor of the moon to enlighten it; for the glory of God enlightened it; and the lamb is its lamp: 24 and the nations of the saved will walk in its light; and the kings of the earth will bring their glory and honour into it; 25 and its gates shall not be shut by day; for there shall be no night there. 26 And the glory and the honour of the nations shall be brought to it. 27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing which defileth or maketh an abomination or [uttereth] a lie; none but they who are enrolled in the Lamb's book of life.
