New Century Version

Revelation 21:7-13 New Century Version (NCV)

7. Those who win the victory will receive this, and I will be their God, and they will be my children.

8. But cowards, those who refuse to believe, who do evil things, who kill, who sin sexually, who do evil magic, who worship idols, and who tell lies—all these will have a place in the lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

9. Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last troubles came to me, saying, “Come with me, and I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”

10. And the angel carried me away by the Spirit to a very large and high mountain. He showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.

11. It was shining with the glory of God and was bright like a very expensive jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.

12. The city had a great high wall with twelve gates with twelve angels at the gates, and on each gate was written the name of one of the twelve tribes of Israel.

13. There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south, and three on the west.
