Ephesians 5:8-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
8 for once you were darkness, but now in the Lord you are light. Walk as children of light,(A) 9 for the fruit of the light[a] is found in all that is good and right and true. 10 Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord. 11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness; rather, expose them.(B) 12 For it is shameful even to mention what such people do secretly, 13 but everything exposed by the light becomes visible, 14 for everything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says,
“Sleeper, awake!
Rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.”(C)

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 And the wall of the city has twelve foundations, and on them are the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.(A)
15 The angel[a] who talked to me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls.(B) 16 The city has four equal sides, its length the same as its width, and he measured the city with his rod, twelve thousand stadia; its length and width and height are equal. 17 He also measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits by human measurement, which the angel was using. 18 The wall is built of jasper, while the city is pure gold, clear as glass. 19 The foundations of the wall of the city are adorned with every 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 are twelve pearls, each of the gates is a single pearl, and the street of the city is pure gold, transparent as glass.
22 I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. 23 And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God is its light, and its lamp is the Lamb.(C) 24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.(D) 25 Its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there.(E) 26 People will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. 27 But nothing unclean will enter it, nor anyone who practices abomination or falsehood, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.(F)

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise we shall be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.”(A) 5 The Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which mortals had built.(B) 6 And the Lord said, “Look, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do; nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.(C) 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language there, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”(D) 8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.(E)
