The Revelation

the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.

And the twelve gates are twelve pearls, each several one of the gates was of one pearl; and the broad-place of the city is pure gold--as transparent glass.

And a sanctuary I did not see in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, is its sanctuary, and the Lamb,

and the city hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they may shine in it; for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamp of it is the Lamb;

and the nations of the saved in its light shall walk, and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it,

and its gates shall not at all be shut by day, for night shall not be there;

and they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations into it;

and there may not at all enter into it any thing defiling and doing abomination, and a lie, but--those written in the scroll of the life of the Lamb.

And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, bright as crystal, going forth out of the throne of God and of the Lamb:

in the midst of its broad place, and of the river on this side and on that, is a tree of life, yielding twelve fruits, in each several month rendering its fruits, and the leaves of the tree are for the service of the nations;

and any curse there shall not be any more, and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him,

and they shall see His face, and His name is upon their foreheads,

and night shall not be there, and they have no need of a lamp and light of a sun, because the Lord God doth give them light, and they shall reign--to the ages of the ages.

And he said to me, `These words are stedfast and true, and the Lord God of the holy prophets did send His messenger to shew to His servants the things that it behoveth to come quickly:

Lo, I come quickly; happy is he who is keeping the words of the prophecy of this scroll.'

And I, John, am he who is seeing these things and hearing, and when I heard and beheld, I fell down to bow before the feet of the messenger who is shewing me these things;

and he saith to me, `See--not; for fellow-servant of thee am I, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of those keeping the words of this scroll; before God bow.'

And he saith to me, `Thou mayest not seal the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is nigh;

he who is unrighteous--let him be unrighteous still, and he who is filthy--let him be filthy still, and he who is righteous--let him be declared righteous still, and he who is sanctified--let him be sanctified still:

And lo, I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to render to each as his work shall be;

I am the Alpha and the Omega--the Beginning and End--the First and the Last.

`Happy are those doing His commands that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of the life, and by the gates they may enter into the city;

and without are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the whoremongers, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one who is loving and is doing a lie.

`I, Jesus did send my messenger to testify to you these things concerning the assemblies; I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright and morning star!

And the Spirit and the Bride say, Come; and he who is hearing--let him say, Come; and he who is thirsting--let him come; and he who is willing--let him take the water of life freely.
