The first base was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; ²⁰ The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. ²¹ And the twelve doors were twelve pearls; every door was made of one pearl; and the street of the town was clear gold, as clear as glass. ²² And I saw no Temple there; because the Lord God, the Ruler of all, and the Lamb are its Temple. ²³ And the town has no need of the sun, or of the moon, to give it light: for the glory of God did make it light, and the light of it is the Lamb. ²⁴ And the nations will go in its light: and the kings of the earth will take their glory into it. ²⁵ And the doors of it will never be shut by day for there is no night there: ²⁶ And the glory and honour of the nations will come into it: ²⁷ And nothing unclean may come into it, or anyone whose works are cursed or false; but only those whose names are in the Lamb's book of life.
