He measured the city with the rod: twelve thousand stadia. Its length, width, and height were equal. 17 He measured its wall to be one hundred forty-four cubits, by human measurement, which is also an angel’s measurement. 18 The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as clear as glass. 19 The foundations of the city walls were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. 21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass. 22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, because the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. 24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory and honor into it. 25 Its gates will never be shut by day, and there will be no night there. 26 They will bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. 27 Nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.

    22For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and one by the free woman.

    23But the son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, while the son by the free woman was born through the promise.

    24Now these things may be interpreted allegorically: These women are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery—this is Hagar.

    25Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.

    27For it is written: 'Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear; break forth and cry aloud, you who are not in labor! For the children of the desolate one will be more than those of the one who has a husband.'

    28Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.

    29But just as the one born according to the flesh persecuted the one born through the Spirit, so it is also now.

    30But what does the Scripture say? 'Cast out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.'

    31So then, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.
