1. Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth had disappeared, and there was no sea anymore.
|
1. And G2532 I saw G1492 a new G2537 heaven G3772 and G2532 a new G2537 earth G1093 : for G1063 the G3588 first G4413 heaven G3772 and G2532 the G3588 first G4413 earth G1093 were passed away G3928 ; and G2532 there was G2076 no G3756 more G2089 sea G2281 .
|
|
2. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. It was prepared like a bride dressed for her husband.
|
2. And G2532 I G1473 John G2491 saw G1492 the G3588 holy G40 city G4172 , new G2537 Jerusalem G2419 , coming down G2597 from G575 God G2316 out of G1537 heaven G3772 , prepared G2090 as G5613 a bride G3565 adorned G2885 for her G848 husband G435 .
|
|
3. And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Now God's presence is with people, and he will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them and will be their God.
|
3. And G2532 I heard G191 a great G3173 voice G5456 out of G1537 heaven G3772 saying G3004 , Behold G2400 , the G3588 tabernacle G4633 of God G2316 is with G3326 men G444 , and G2532 he will dwell G4637 with G3326 them G846 , and G2532 they G846 shall be G2071 his G848 people G2992 , and G2532 God G2316 himself G848 shall be G2071 with G3326 them G846 , and be their G848 God G2316 .
|
|
4. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death, sadness, crying, or pain, because all the old ways are gone."
|
4. And G2532 God G2316 shall wipe away G1813 all G3956 tears G1144 from G575 their G848 eyes G3788 ; and G2532 there shall be G2071 no G3756 more G2089 death G2288 , neither G3777 sorrow G3997 , nor G3777 crying G2906 , neither G3777 shall there be G2071 G3756 any more G2089 pain G4192 : for G3754 the G3588 former things G4413 are passed away G565 .
|
|
5. The One who was sitting on the throne said, "Look! I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this, because these words are true and can be trusted."
|
5. And G2532 he that sat G2521 upon G1909 the G3588 throne G2362 said G2036 , Behold G2400 , I make G4160 all things G3956 new G2537 . And G2532 he said G3004 unto me G3427 , Write G1125 : for G3754 these G3778 words G3056 are G1526 true G228 and G2532 faithful G4103 .
|
|
6. The One on the throne said to me, "It is finished. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give free water from the spring of the water of life to anyone who is thirsty.
|
6. And G2532 he said G2036 unto me G3427 , It is done G1096 . I G1473 am G1510 G3588 Alpha G1 and G2532 G3588 Omega G5598 , the G3588 beginning G746 and G2532 the G3588 end G5056 . I G1473 will give G1325 unto him that is athirst G1372 of G1537 the G3588 fountain G4077 of the G3588 water G5204 of life G2222 freely G1432 .
|
|
7. Those who win the victory will receive this, and I will be their God, and they will be my children.
|
7. He that overcometh G3528 shall inherit G2816 all things G3956 ; and G2532 I will be G2071 his G848 God G2316 , and G2532 he G846 shall be G2071 my G3427 son G5207 .
|
|
8. But cowards, those who refuse to believe, who do evil things, who kill, who sin sexually, who do evil magic, who worship idols, and who tell lies -- all these will have a place in the lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."
|
8. But G1161 the fearful G1169 , and G2532 unbelieving G571 , and G2532 abominable G948 , and G2532 murderers G5406 , and G2532 whoremongers G4205 , and G2532 sorcerers G5332 , and G2532 idolaters G1496 , and G2532 all G3956 liars G5571 , shall have their G848 part G3313 in G1722 the G3588 lake G3041 which burneth G2545 with fire G4442 and G2532 brimstone G2303 : which is G3603 the second G1208 death G2288 .
|
|
9. Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last troubles came to me, saying, "Come with me, and I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb."
|
9. And G2532 there came G2064 unto G4314 me G3165 one G1520 of the G3588 seven G2033 angels G32 which had G2192 the G3588 seven G2033 vials G5357 full G1073 of the G3588 seven G2033 last G2078 plagues G4127 , and G2532 talked G2980 with G3326 me G1700 , saying G3004 , Come hither G1204 , I will show G1166 thee G4671 the G3588 bride G3565 , the G3588 Lamb G721 's wife G1135 .
|
|
10. And the angel carried me away by the Spirit to a very large and high mountain. He showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.
|
10. And G2532 he carried me away G667 G3165 in G1722 the spirit G4151 to G1909 a great G3173 and G2532 high G5308 mountain G3735 , and G2532 showed G1166 me G3427 that great G3173 city G4172 , the G3588 holy G40 Jerusalem G2419 , descending G2597 out of G1537 heaven G3772 from G575 God G2316 ,
|
|
11. It was shining with the glory of God and was bright like a very expensive jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.
|
11. Having G2192 the G3588 glory G1391 of God G2316 : and G2532 her G848 light G5458 was like unto G3664 a stone G3037 most precious G5093 , even like G5613 a jasper G2393 stone G3037 , clear as crystal G2929 ;
|
|
12. The city had a great high wall with twelve gates with twelve angels at the gates, and on each gate was written the name of one of the twelve tribes of Israel.
|
12. And G5037 had G2192 a wall G5038 great G3173 and G2532 high G5308 , and had G2192 twelve G1427 gates G4440 , and G2532 at G1909 the G3588 gates G4440 twelve G1427 angels G32 , and G2532 names G3686 written thereon G1924 , which G3739 are G2076 the names of the G3588 twelve G1427 tribes G5443 of the G3588 children G5207 of Israel G2474 :

|
|
15. The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod made of gold to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.
|
15. And G2532 he that talked G2980 with G3326 me G1700 had G2192 a golden G5552 reed G2563 to G2443 measure G3354 the G3588 city G4172 , and G2532 the G3588 gates G4440 thereof G846 , and G2532 the G3588 wall G5038 thereof G846 .
|
|
16. The city was built in a square, and its length was equal to its width. The angel measured the city with the rod. The city was twelve thousand stadian long, twelve thousand stadia wide, and twelve thousand stadia high.
|
16. And G2532 the G3588 city G4172 lieth G2749 foursquare G5068 , and G2532 the G3588 length G3372 G848 is G2076 as large G5118 as G3745 the G3588 breadth G4114 : and G2532 he measured G3354 the G3588 city G4172 with the G3588 reed G2563 , twelve G1427 thousand G5505 G1909 furlongs G4712 . The G3588 length G3372 and G2532 the G3588 breadth G4114 and G2532 the G3588 height G5311 of it G846 are G2076 equal G2470 .

17. The angel also measured the wall. It was one hundred forty-four cubitsn high, by human measurements, which the angel was using.

17. And G2532 he measured G3354 the G3588 wall G5038 thereof G846 , a hundred and forty and four G1540 G5062 G5064 cubits G4083 , according to the measure G3358 of a man G444 , that is G3603 , of the angel G32 .

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

|
|
22. I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the city's temple.
|
22. And G2532 I saw G1492 no G3756 temple G3485 therein G1722 G846 : for G1063 the G3588 Lord G2962 God G2316 Almighty G3841 and G2532 the G3588 Lamb G721 are G2076 the temple G3485 of it G846 .
|
|
23. The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, because the glory of God is its light, and the Lamb is the city's lamp.

|
|
24. By its light the people of the world will walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.
|
24. And G2532 the G3588 nations G1484 of them which are saved G4982 shall walk G4043 in G1722 the G3588 light G5457 of it G846 : and G2532 the G3588 kings G935 of the G3588 earth G1093 do bring G5342 their G848 glory G1391 and G2532 honor G5092 into G1519 it G846 .
|
|
25. The city's gates will never be shut on any day, because there is no night there.
|
25. And G2532 the G3588 gates G4440 of it G846 shall not be shut at all G3364 G2808 by day G2250 : for G1063 there shall be G2071 no G3756 night G3571 there G1563 .
|
|
26. The glory and the honor of the nations will be brought into it.
|
26. And G2532 they shall bring G5342 the G3588 glory G1391 and G2532 honor G5092 of the G3588 nations G1484 into G1519 it G846 .

|
27. And G2532 there shall in no wise G3364 enter G1525 into G1519 it G846 any thing G3956 that defileth G2840 , neither G2532 whatsoever worketh G4160 abomination G946 , or G2532 maketh a lie G5579 : but they which are written G1125 in G1722 the G3588 Lamb G721 's book G975 of life G2222 .
