And
the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and
the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. And the
foundations of the wall of the city were
garnished with all manner of precious stones. The
first foundation was jasper; the second,
sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an
emerald;
The
fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh,
chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a
topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a
jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
And
the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every
several gate was of one pearl: and the street of
the city was pure gold, as it were transparent
glass.
And
I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God
Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
And
the city had no need of the sun, neither of the
moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did
lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
And
the nations of them which are saved shall walk in
the light of it: and the kings of the earth do
bring their glory and honour into it.
And
the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day:
for there shall be no night there.
And
they shall bring the glory and honour of the
nations into it.
And
there shall in no wise enter into it any thing
that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh
abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are
written in the Lamb's book of life.
