Revelation 21

A New Heaven and a New Earth

1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.

1And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and the sea is no more.

2I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

2And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying:

“Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man,

and He will dwell with them.

They will be His people,

and God Himself will be with them as their God.

3And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying: “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will tabernacle with them, and they will be His peoples, and God Himself will be with them as their God.

4‘He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,’

and there will be no more death

or mourning or crying or pain,

for the former things have passed away.”

4‘And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,’ and death will be no more, nor mourning nor crying nor pain; they will be no more, because the first things passed away.”

5And the One seated on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” Then He said, “Write this down, for these words are faithful and true.”

5And the One sitting on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He says, “Write, because these words are faithful and true.”

6And He told me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give freely from the spring of the water of life.

6And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the one thirsting, I will give of the spring of the water of life freely.

7The one who overcomes will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son.

7The one overcoming will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son.

8But to the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.”

8But to the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part is in the lake burning with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

The New Jerusalem

9Then one of the seven angels with the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”

9And one of the seven angels having the seven bowls being full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”

10And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the holy city of Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God,

10And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and he showed me the holy city Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

11shining with the glory of God. Its radiance was like a most precious jewel, like a jasper, as clear as crystal.

11having the glory of God. Its radiance was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone being clear as crystal,

12The city had a great and high wall with twelve gates inscribed with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, and twelve angels at the gates.

12having a great and high wall, having twelve gates, and on the gates twelve angels, and names inscribed, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.

13There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south, and three on the west.

15The angel who spoke with me had a golden measuring rod to measure the city and its gates and walls.

15And the one speaking with me had a golden measuring reed, so that he might measure the city and its gates and its wall.

16The city lies foursquare, with its width the same as its length. And he measured the city with the rod, and all its dimensions were equal—12,000 stadia in length and width and height.

16And the city lies foursquare, and its length the same as also the breadth. And he measured the city with the reed at twelve thousand stadia. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

17And he measured its wall to be 144 cubits, by the human measure the angel was using.

17And he measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits, the measure of man, that is, of the angel.

18The wall was made of jasper, and the city itself of pure gold, as pure as glass.

18And the structure of its wall was jasper, and the city pure gold, like clear glass,

19The foundations of the city walls were adorned with every kind of precious stone:

The first foundation was jasper,

22But I saw no temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

22And I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb.

23And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, because the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its lamp.

23And the city has no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they may shine in it; for the glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb.

24By its light the nations will walk, and into it the kings of the earth will bring their glory.

24And the nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it.

25Its gates will never be shut at the end of the day, because there will be no night there.

25And its gates shall never be shut by day, for there will be no night there.

26And into the city will be brought the glory and honor of the nations.

26And they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.

27But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who practices an abomination or a lie, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

27And anything defiling, and those practicing abomination and a lie, never shall enter into it, only those written in the Lamb’s book of life.
