7. Whoever prevails shall possess these things. And I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8. But the fearful, and the unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and drug users, and idolaters, and all liars, these shall be a part of the pool burning with fire and sulphur, which is the second death."
9. And one of the seven Angels, those holding the bowls filled with the seven last afflictions, approached and spoke with me, saying: "Come, and I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb."
10. And he took me up in spirit to a great and high mountain. And he showed me the Holy City Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
11. having the glory of God. And its light was like that of a precious stone, even like that of the jasper stone or like crystal.
12. And it had a wall, great and high, having twelve gates. And at the gates were twelve Angels. And names were written upon them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.
13. On the East were three gates, and on the North were three gates, and on the South were three gates, and on the West were three gates.
14. And the wall of the City had twelve foundations. And upon them were the twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.
15. And he who was speaking with me was holding a golden measuring reed, in order to measure the City, and its gates and wall.
16. And the city is laid out as a square, and so its length is as great as the width. And he measured the city with the golden reed for twelve thousand stadia, and its length and height and breadth were equal.
17. And he measured its wall as one hundred and forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, which is of an Angel.
18. And the structure of its wall was of jasper stone. Yet truly, the city itself was of pure gold, similar to pure glass.
19. And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was of jasper, the second was of sapphire, the third was of chalcedony, the fourth was of emerald,
20. the fifth was of sardonyx, the sixth was of sardius, the seventh was of chrysolite, the eighth was of beryl, the ninth was of topaz, the tenth was of chrysoprasus, the eleventh was of jacinth, the twelfth was of amethyst.
21. And the twelve gates are twelve pearls, one for each, so that each gate was made from a single pearl. And the main street of the city was of pure gold, similar to transparent glass.
22. And I saw no temple in it. For the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb.
23. And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine in it. For the glory of God has illuminated it, and the Lamb is its lamp.
24. And the nations shall walk by its light. And the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honor into it.
