^21:1And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were gone; and there was no more sea. ^21:2And I saw the holy town, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, like a bride made beautiful for her husband. ^21:3And there came to my ears a great voice out of the high seat, saying, See, the Tent of God is with men, and he will make his living-place with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them, and be their God. ^21:4And he will put an end to all their weeping; and there will be no more death, or sorrow, or crying, or pain; for the first things have come to an end. ^21:5And he who is seated on the high seat said, See, I make all things new. And he said, Put it in the book; for these words are certain and true. ^21:6And he said to me, It is done. I am the First and the Last, the start and the end. I will freely give of the fountain of the water of life to him who is in need. ^21:7He who overcomes will have these things for his heritage; and I will be his God, and he will be my son. ^21:8But those who are full of fear and without faith, the unclean and takers of life, those who do the sins of the flesh, and those who make use of evil powers or who give worship to images, and all those who are false, will have their part in the sea of ever-burning fire which is the second death. ^21:9And one of the seven angels who had the seven vessels in which were the seven last punishments, came and said to me, Come here, and see the bride, the Lamb's wife. ^21:10And he took me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and let me see the holy town Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, ^21:11Having the glory of God: and her light was like a stone of great price, a jasper stone, clear as glass: ^21:12She had a wall great and high, with twelve doors, and at the doors twelve angels; and names on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel. ^21:13And on the east were three doors; and on the north three doors; and on the south three doors; and on the west three doors. ^21:14And the wall of the town had twelve bases, and on them the twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb. ^21:15And he who was talking with me had a gold measuring-rod to take the measure of the town, and of its doors, and its wall. ^21:16And the town is square, as wide as it is long; and he took the measure of the town with the rod, one thousand and five hundred miles: it is equally long and wide and high. ^21:17And he took the measure of its wall, one hundred and forty-four cubits, after the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. ^21:18And the building of its wall was of jasper, and the town was clear gold, clear as glass. ^21:19The bases of the wall of the town had ornaments of all sorts of beautiful stones. The first base was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; ^21:20The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. ^21:21And the twelve doors were twelve pearls; every door was made of one pearl; and the street of the town was clear gold, as clear as glass. ^21:22And I saw no Temple there; because the Lord God, the Ruler of all, and the Lamb are its Temple. ^21:23And the town has no need of the sun, or of the moon, to give it light: for the glory of God did make it light, and the light of it is the Lamb. ^21:24And the nations will go in its light: and the kings of the earth will take their glory into it. ^21:25And the doors of it will never be shut by day (for there is no night there): ^21:26And the glory and honour of the nations will come into it: ^21:27And nothing unclean may come into it, or anyone whose works are cursed or false; but only those whose names are in the Lamb's book of life.

^22:1And I saw a river of water of life, clear as glass, coming out of the high seat of God and of the Lamb, ^22:2In the middle of its street. And on this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, having twelve sorts of fruits, giving its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree give life to the nations. ^22:3And there will be no more curse: and the high seat of God and of the Lamb will be there; and his servants will be worshipping him; ^22:4And they will see his face; and his name will be on their brows. ^22:5And there will be no more night; and they have no need of a light or of the shining of the sun; for the Lord God will give them light: and they will be ruling for ever and ever. ^22:6And he said to me, These words are certain and true: and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to make clear to his servants the things which are now to come about. ^22:7See, I come quickly. A blessing on him who keeps the words of this book of the prophet. ^22:8And I, John, am he who saw these things and to whose ears they came. And when I had seen and given ear, I went down on my face to give worship at the feet of the angel who made these things clear to me. ^22:9And he said to me, See you do it not; I am a brother-servant with you and with your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book: give worship to God. ^22:10And he said to me, Let not the words of this prophet's book be kept secret, because the time is near. ^22:11Let the evil man go on in his evil: and let the unclean be still unclean: and let the upright go on in his righteousness: and let the holy be holy still. ^22:12See, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give to every man the outcome of his works. ^22:13I am the First and the Last, the start and the end. ^22:14A blessing on those whose robes are washed, so that they may have a right to the tree of life, and may go in by the doors into the town. ^22:15Outside are the dogs, and those who make use of evil powers, those who make themselves unclean, and the takers of life, and those who give worship to images, and everyone whose delight is in what is false. ^22:16I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give witness to you of these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright and morning star. ^22:17And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him who gives ear, say, Come. And let him who is in need come; and let everyone desiring it take of the water of life freely. ^22:18For I say to every man to whose ears have come the words of this prophet's book, If any man makes an addition to them, God will put on him the punishments which are in this book: ^22:19And if any man takes away from the words of this book, God will take away from him his part in the tree of life and the holy town, even the things which are in this book. ^22:20He who gives witness to these things says, Truly, I come quickly. Even so come, Lord Jesus. ^22:21The grace of the Lord Jesus be with the saints. So be it.
