NASB Bible

Revelation 21

The New Heaven and Earth

1

Then I saw  aa new heaven and a new earth; for  bthe first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea.

2

And I saw  athe holy city,  bnew Jerusalem,  ccoming down out of heaven from God,  dmade ready as a bride adorned for her husband.

3

And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold,  athe tabernacle of God is among men, and He will  1 bdwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them 2,

4

and He will  awipe away every tear from their eyes; and  bthere will no longer be any death;  cthere will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain;  dthe first things have passed away."

5

And  aHe who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am  bmaking all things new." And He *said, "Write, for  cthese words are faithful and true."

6

Then He said to me, " 1 aIt is done. I am the  bAlpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.  cI will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the  dwater of life without cost.

7

aHe who overcomes will inherit these things, and  bI will be his God and he will be My son.

8

aBut for the cowardly and  1unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in  bthe lake that burns with fire and  2brimstone, which is the  csecond death."

9

 aThen one of the seven angels who had the  bseven bowls  1full of the  cseven last plagues came and spoke with me, saying, " aCome here, I will show you the  dbride, the wife of the Lamb."

The New Jerusalem

10

And  ahe carried me away  1 bin the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me  cthe holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,

11

having  athe glory of God. Her  1brilliance was like a very costly stone, as a  bstone of  ccrystal-clear jasper.

12

 1It had a great and high wall,  1 awith twelve  bgates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names were written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.

13

There were three gates on the east and three gates on the north and three gates on the south and three gates on the west.

14

And the wall of the city had  atwelve foundation stones, and on them were the twelve names of the  btwelve apostles of the Lamb.

15

The one who spoke with me had a  1gold measuring  arod to measure the city, and its  bgates and its wall.

16

The city is laid out as a square, and its length is as great as the width; and he measured the city with the  1rod,  2fifteen hundred miles; its length and width and height are equal.

17

And he measured its wall,  1seventy-two yards, according to  ahuman  2measurements, which are also  bangelic measurements.

18

The material of the wall was  ajasper; and the city was  bpure gold, like  1clear  cglass.

19

 aThe foundation stones of the city wall were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation stone was  bjasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth,  cemerald;

20

the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth,  asardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.

21

And the twelve  agates were twelve  bpearls; each one of the gates was a single pearl. And the street of the city was  cpure gold, like transparent  dglass.

22

I saw  ano  1temple in it, for the  bLord God the Almighty and the  cLamb are its  1temple.

23

And the city  ahas no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for  bthe glory of God has illumined it, and its lamp is the  cLamb.

24

 aThe nations will walk by its light, and the  bkings of the earth  1will bring their glory into it.

25

In the daytime (for  athere will be no night there)  bits gates  cwill never be closed;

26

and  athey will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it;

27

and  anothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those  1whose names are  bwritten in the Lamb's book of life.
