MLV(i)
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 And he, speaking with me, was holding a measure, a golden reed, in order that he might measure the city and its gates and its wall.
16 And the four cornered city is laid, and the length is as the width and he measured the city with the reed in furlongs, twelve thousand and twelve furlongs, the length and the width and its height are equal.
17 And he measured its wall, a hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, which is, of a messenger.
18 And the structure of its wall was jasper and the city was purest gold, similar to purest glass.
19 The foundations of the wall of the city have been adorned with every precious stone. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, carnelian; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, hyacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.
21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls apiece; each one of the gates was from one pearl, respectively and the street of the city was purest gold like transparent glass.
22 And I saw no temple in it; for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
23 And the city has no need of the sun, neither of the moon, in order that they should appear in it; for the glory of God illuminated it and its lamp is the Lamb.
24 And the nations will be walking in its light and the kings of the earth bring glory to him and the honor of the nations into it.
25 And its gates may never be locked by day (for there will be no night there).
26 And they will be bringing the glory and the honor of the nations into it.
27 And any desecrated thing or anyone practicing an abomination and a lie may never enter into it; except those who have been written in the Lamb’s Book of Life may enter into it.
