Ephesians 5:8-14
New King James Version
Walk in Light
8 For you were once darkness, but now you are (A)light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for (B)the fruit of the [a]Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), 10 (C)finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. 11 And have (D)no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather [b]expose them. 12 (E)For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. 13 But (F)all things that are [c]exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. 14 Therefore He says:
(G)“Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light.”

Revelation 21:14-27
New King James Version
14 Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and (A)on them were the [a]names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 And he who talked with me (B)had a gold reed to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. 16 The city is laid out as a square; its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand [b]furlongs. Its length, breadth, and height are equal. 17 Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. 18 The construction of its wall was of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass. 19 (C)The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation 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 chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. 21 The twelve gates were twelve (D)pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. (E)And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
The Glory of the New Jerusalem
22 (F)But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 (G)The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine [c]in it, for the [d]glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. 24 (H)And the nations [e]of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor [f]into it. 25 (I)Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (J)(there shall be no night there). 26 (K)And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into [g]it. 27 But (L)there shall by no means enter it anything [h]that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s (M)Book of Life.

New King James Version
4 And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower (A)whose top is in the heavens; let us make a (B)name for ourselves, lest we (C)be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”
5 (D)But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. 6 And the Lord said, “Indeed (E)the people are one and they all have (F)one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they (G)propose to do will be withheld from them. 7 Come, (H)let Us go down and there (I)confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” 8 So (J)the Lord scattered them abroad from there (K)over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city.
