19
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 pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
22
But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
23
The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light.
24
And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.
25
Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there).
26
And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.
27
But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
