6. And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the one who is thirsty I will give water from the spring of the water of life freely.
7. The one who conquers will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be my son.
8. But as for the cowards and unbelievers and detestable persons and murderers and sexually immoral people and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their share is in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.
9. And one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
10. And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and lofty mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
11. that has the glory of God. Its radiance is like a precious stone, something like a jasper stone, shining like crystal.
12. It has a great and high wall that has twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written on the gates which are of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel—
13. on the east, three gates, and on the north, three gates, and on the south, three gates, and on the west, three gates.
14. And the wall of the city has twelve foundations, and on them are twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15. And the one who spoke with me was holding a golden measuring rod in order that he could measure the city and its gates and its wall.
16. And the city is laid out as a square, and its length is the same as its width. And he measured the city with the measuring rod at twelve thousand stadia; the length and the width and the height of it are equal.
17. And he measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits according to human measure, which is the angel’s.
