Hebrews 9:23-26
English Standard Version
23 Thus it was necessary for (A)the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ has entered, not into holy places (B)made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God (C)on our behalf. 25 Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as (D)the high priest enters (E)the holy places every year with blood not his own, 26 for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, (F)he has appeared (G)once for all (H)at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

26 (A)“If anyone comes to me and (B)does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, (C)yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. 27 (D)Whoever does not (E)bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. 28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not (F)first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? 29 Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ 31 Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not (G)sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace. 33 (H)So therefore, any one of you who (I)does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.

Revelation 21:10-27
English Standard Version
10 And (A)he carried me away in the Spirit to (B)a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, 11 (C)having the glory of God, (D)its radiance (E)like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 12 It had a great, high wall, (F)with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed— 13 on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve (G)foundations, and (H)on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 And the one who spoke with me (I)had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls. 16 The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its width. And he measured the city with his rod, 12,000 stadia.[a] Its length and width and height are equal. 17 He also measured its wall, 144 cubits[b] by (J)human measurement, which is also (K)an angel's measurement. 18 The wall was built of (L)jasper, while the city was pure gold, like (M)clear glass. 19 (N)The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of jewel. The first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, 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, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and (O)the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
22 And (P)I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. 23 And the city (Q)has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for (R)the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. 24 By its light (S)will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth (T)will bring their glory into it, 25 and (U)its gates will never be shut by day—and (V)there will be no night there. 26 They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. 27 But (W)nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's (X)book of life.

The Judgment at Christ's Coming
5 This is (D)evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be (E)considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are also suffering— 6 since indeed God considers it (F)just (G)to repay with affliction those who afflict you, 7 and to grant (H)relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us, when (I)the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven (J)with his mighty angels 8 (K)in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those (L)who do not know God and on those who (M)do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9 They will suffer the punishment of (N)eternal destruction, (O)away from[a] the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might, 10 (P)when he comes on (Q)that day (R)to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at among all who have believed, because our (S)testimony to you (T)was believed.
