Revelation 21:19-27 Common English Bible (CEB)

19. The city wall’s foundations were decorated with every kind of jewel. The first foundation was jasper, the second was sapphire, the third was chalcedony, and the fourth was emerald.

20. The fifth was sardonyx, the sixth was carnelian, the seventh was chrysolite, and the eighth was beryl. The ninth was topaz, the tenth was chrysoprase, the eleventh was jacinth, and the twelfth was amethyst.

21. The twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the gates was made from a single pearl. And the city’s main street was pure gold, as transparent as glass.

22. I didn’t see a temple in the city, because its temple is the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb.

23. The city doesn’t need the sun or the moon to shine on it, because God’s glory is its light, and its lamp is the Lamb.

24. The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory 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 vile and deceitful, but only those who are registered in the Lamb’s scroll of life.
