The length and the width and the height of it are equal. 17 And he measured the wall of it, a hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. 18 And the construction of its wall was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like clear glass. 19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; 20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each individual gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. 22 And I saw no temple in it: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it; for the glory of God illuminated it, and the Lamb is its light. 24 And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light: and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it. 25 And its gates shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. 26 And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. 27 And nothing unclean shall ever enter into it, nor anyone who practices abomination or a lie: but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
