measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. 17 And he measured the wall thereof, a hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an 18 angel. And the foundation of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure 19 gold, like clear glass. And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, 20 an emerald; the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a ja21 cinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were trans22 parent glass. And I saw no temple therein: for the LORD God Almighty and the 23 Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light 24 thereof. And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory 25 and honour into it. And its gates shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall 26 be no night there. And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into 27 it. And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or uttereth a lie: but those only who are written in the Lamb's book of life. 22 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of 2 the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on each side of the river, was there a tree of life, which bore twelve manner of fruits, and yielded its fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of 3 the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall 4 worship him: and they shall see his face; and his name shall be on their foreheads. 5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no lamp, neither light of the sun; for the LORD God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. AND he said unto me, These sayings 6 are faithful and true: and the LORD God of the holy prophets sent his angel to show unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. Behold, I come quickly: 7 blessed is he who keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. And I John saw and heard these things. 8 And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the fect of the angel who showed me these things. Then 9 saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the sayings of this book: worship God! And he saith unto me, Seal not the say- 10 ings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. He who is unjust, let him 11 be unjust still: and he who is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he who is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he who is holy, let him be holy still. Lo! I 12 come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am the Alpha and the Omega, 13 the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they who wash their 14 garments in the blood of the Lamb, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, 15 and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. I Jesus have sent mine angel to tes- 16 tify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. And the Spirit and the bride say, Come! 17 And let him who heareth say, Come! And let him who is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. For I testify unto every man who hear- 18 eth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: and if any man 19 shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. He who testifieth these things saith, Sure- 20 ly I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, LORD Jesus. The grace of our LORD 21 Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. THE END.
