"pain. For the former things have passed away. All things to be made new    He who was seated on the throne said , Behold, I am making all things new. Also he said , Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.   Then he said , It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. 6To him who thirsts I will give to drink without costfrom the fountain of the Water of Life.    He who overcomes will inherit all and I will be his God and he will be my son. Those who will inherit the Second Death   8But as for the cowardly, the unbelieving, the self-defiled, the murderers,"

New Jerusalem descends from heaven   9Then one of the seven angels , who had the seven bowls of last plagues said to me , Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife ofthe Lamb.    And he carried me away in the spirit to a mountain great and high and showed me theHoly City , New Jerusalem , coming down out of heaven from God , prepared as a beautifully adorned bride for her"
"husband . Like a brilliant jewel clear as golden crystal    It shone with the glory of God and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel , clear as golden crystal . High crystalline walls with twelve gates ,  each a whole pearl   12It had a great high wall , with twelve gates and with twelve angels at the gates . 13On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel . There were three gates on each side ; east , north , south and west .   14The wall of the city had twelve foundations and on them were written the names of thetwelve apostles of the Lamb .    He"
"measured the height of its wall . It was  cubits high by man s measure which the angel was using . 16The wall was made of golden crystal and the foundations were decorated with every kind of precious stone .   17The first foundation was golden crystal , the second sapphire , the third chalcedony , the fourth emerald , the fifth sardonyx , the sixth carnelian , the seventh chrysolite , the eighth beryl , the ninth topaz , the tenth chrysoprase , the eleventh jacinth and the twelfth amethyst .   18The twelve gates were twelve pearls , each gate a single pearl .

"the city 12 ,000 stadia   19The angel who spoke with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city andits gates and walls .  The city was laid out like a square , as long as it was wide .   21He measured the city with the rod . It was ,000 stadia in length and width and of uniform height. City and streets like transparent gold   22The city and streets are pure gold , like transparent glass . The glory of God and the Lamb its light   23I saw no temple in the city , for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple . 24Nor does the city need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for"
"the glory of God gives it light and the Lamb is its lamp . The gates will never be shut by day , and there shall be no night there . Only those whose names are written in  the Book of Life will enter the city   26The nations will walk by its light and the kings of the earth shall bring their splendour into it ; the glory and honour of the nations .   27But nothing unclean will ever enter the city , nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful . Only those whose names are written in the Lamb s Book of Life shall enter . The river of the Water of Life   28Then the angel showed me the"
"river of the Water of Life , bright as crystal flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the centreof the great main street of the city . The Tree of Life    Along both sides of the river grew the Tree of Life , bearing twelve kinds of fruit , yielding fruit every month . And the leaves are for the healing of the nations . All in the city will see the face of God    30Nothing accursed will be found there . The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city and God s servants shall worship him . They shall see his face and his name will be on their foreheads ."
"And there will be no more night , they shall not need the light of a lamp nor of the sun for the Lord God will give them light . And God and the Lamb shall reign for ever and ever."
