Revelation 21:14-27

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁴ And the wall of the city had ^(A)twelve foundation stones, and on them were the twelve names of the ^(B)twelve apostles of the Lamb.

¹⁵ And the one who spoke with me had a ^[a]gold measuring ^(C)rod to measure the city and its ^(D)gates and its wall. ¹⁶ And the city is laid out as a square, and its length is as great as the width; and he measured the city with the ^[b]rod, ^[c]12,000 stadia; its length and width and height are equal. ¹⁷ And he measured its wall, ^[d]144 cubits, according to ^(E)human ^[e]measurements, which are also ^(F)angelic measurements. ¹⁸ And the material of the wall was ^(G)jasper, and the city was ^(H)pure gold, like pure ^(I)glass. ^19 (J)The foundation stones of the city wall were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation stone was ^(K)jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, ^(L)emerald; ²⁰ the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, ^(M)sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. ²¹ And the twelve ^(N)gates were twelve ^(O)pearls; each one of the gates was a single pearl. And the street of the city was ^(P)pure gold, like transparent ^(Q)glass.

²² And I saw ^(R)no sanctuary in it, for the ^(S)Lord God the Almighty and the ^(T)Lamb are its sanctuary. ²³ And the city ^(U)has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for ^(V)the glory of God has illumined it, and its lamp is the ^(W)Lamb. ^24 (X)And the nations will walk by its light, and the ^(Y)kings of the earth ^[f]will bring their glory into it. ^25 (Z)And its gates ^(AA)will never be closed by day, for ^(AB)there will be no night there; ²⁶ and ^(AC)they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it. ²⁷ And ^(AD)nothing defiled, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those ^[g]whose names are ^(AE)written in the Lamb’s book of life.
