And they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them and be their God. ⁴ And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. And there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, neither crying, neither shall there be any more pain, for the old things are gone. ⁵ And he that sat upon the seat said, "Behold I make all things new." And he said unto me, "Write, for these words are faithful and true." ⁶ And he said unto me, "It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning, and the end. I will give to him that is athirst of the well of the water of life, free. ⁷ He that overcometh shall inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. ⁸ But the fearful and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." ⁹ And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues: and talked with me saying, "Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb's wife." ¹⁰ And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and a high mountain, and he showed me the great city, holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, ¹¹ having the brightness of God. And her shining was like unto a stone most precious, even a Jasper clear as Crystal: ¹² and had walls great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels: and names written, which are the twelve tribes of Israel: ¹³ on the east part three gates, and on the north side three gates, and towards the south three gates, and from the west three gates. ¹⁴ And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the Lamb's twelve apostles. ¹⁵ And he that talked with me, had a golden reed to measure the city withal and the gates thereof and the wall thereof. ¹⁶ And the city was built four square, and the length was as large as the breadth of it, and he measured the city with the reed twelve thousand furlongs: and the length, and the breadth, and the height of it, were equal. ¹⁷ And he measured the wall thereof a hundred and forty four cubits: the measure that the angel had was after the measure that man useth. ¹⁸ And the building of the wall of it was of jasper. And the city was pure gold like unto clear glass ¹⁹ and the foundations of the wall of the city was garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third a chalcedony, the fourth an emerald: ²⁰ the fifth sardonyx: the sixth sardius: the seventh chrysolite: the eighth beryl: the ninth a topaz: the tenth a chrysoprasus: the eleventh a jacinth: the twelfth an amethyst. ²¹ The twelve gates were twelve pearls, every gate was of one pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, as through shining glass. ²² And there was no temple therein. For the Lord God almighty and the lamb are the temple of it. ²³ And the city hath no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to lighten it. For the brightness of God did light it: and the lamb was the light of it. ²⁴ And the people which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory unto it. ²⁵ And the gates of it are not shut by day. For there shall be no night there. ²⁶ And in to it shall they bring the glory and honour of the nations. ²⁷ And there shall enter into it none unclean thing; neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh lies, but they only which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

²² Above over the heads of the beasts there was a firmament, which was fashioned as it had been of the most pure Crystal, and that was spread out above upon their heads:

¹⁴ Now when the spirit took me up, and carried me away, I went with a heavy and sorrowful mind, but the hand of the LORD comforted me right soon.

³ This similitude stretched out a hand, and took me by the hairy locks of my head, and the spirit lift me up betwixt heaven and earth: And God brought me in a vision to Jerusalem, into the court of the inward port that lieth toward the north. There stood an image, with whom he that hath all things in his power was very wroth.

¹ Moreover, the spirit of the LORD lift me up, and brought me unto the east port of the LORD's house. And behold, there were twenty five men under the door: among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, the rulers of the people.

²⁴ But the wind took me up, and in a vision which came by the spirit of God it brought me again into Chaldea among the prisoners. Then the vision that I had seen vanished away from me.

¹³ Thou hast been in the pleasure garden of God; thou art decked with all manner of precious stones: with Ruby, Topaz, Crystal, Jacinth, Onyx, Jasper, Sapphire, Smaragdus, Carbuncle, and gold. Thy beauty and the holes that be in thee were set forth in the day of thy creation. ¹⁴ Thou art a fair Cherub, stretched wide out for to cover. I have set thee upon the holy mount of God, there hast thou been, and walked among the fair glistering stones.

¹⁶ Because of thy great merchandise, thy heart is full of wickedness, and thou hast offended. Therefore will I cast thee from the mount of God, O thou covering Cherub, and destroy thee among the glistering stones.

²⁷ My dwelling shall be with them, yea I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

¹ In the twenty fifth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, the tenth day of the month - that is, the fourteenth year, after that the city was smitten down - the same day came the hand of the LORD upon me, and carried me forth: ² even into the land of Israel brought he me in the visions of God: and set me down upon a marvelous high mountain, whereupon there was a building, as it had been of a city, toward the north. ³ Thither he carried me, and behold, there was a man, whose similitude was like brass, which had a thread of flax in his hand, and a measuring rod also. He stood in the door, ⁴ and said unto me, 'Mark well with thine eyes, hearken to with thine ears, and fasten it in thine heart, whatsoever I shall show thee - for, to the intent that they might be showed thee, therefore art thou brought hither. And whatsoever thou seest, thou shalt certify the house of Israel thereof.' ⁵ Behold, there was a wall on the outside round about the house: the measuring rod that he had in his hand, was six cubits long and a span. So he measured the breadth of the building, which was one measuring rod, and the height also one measuring rod. ⁶ Then came he unto the east door, and went up the stairs, and measured the posts of the door, whereof every one was one measuring rod. Every chamber was one measuring rod long and broad: ⁷ between the chambers were five cubits. The post of the door within the porch, was one measuring rod. ⁸ He measured also the porch of the innermore door which contained one measuring rod. ⁹ Then measured he the entry of the door, that contained eight cubits, and his pillars two cubits: and this entry stood inward. ¹⁰ The chambers of the door eastward, were three on every side: alike broad and long. The pillars also that stood of both the sides, were of one measure. ¹¹ After this, he measured the wideness of the door, which was ten cubits, and the height of the door, thirteen cubits. ¹² The edge before the chambers was one cubit broad upon both the sides, and the cambers six cubits wide of either side. ¹³ He measured the door from the ridge of one chamber to another, whose wideness was twenty five cubits, and one door stood against another. ¹⁴ He made pillars also sixty cubits high, round about the court door. ¹⁵ Before the inward part unto the fore entry of the innermore door, were fifty cubits. ¹⁶ The chambers and the pillars within, round about unto the door, had side windows: So had the fore entries also, whose windows went round about within. And upon the pillars there stood date trees. ¹⁷ Then brought he me into the fore court, whereas were chambers and paved works, made in the fore court round about: Thirty chambers upon one paved work. ¹⁸ Now the paved work was a long beside the doors, and that was the lower paved work. ¹⁹ After this, he measured the breadth from the lower door, unto the innermore court of the outside, which had a hundred cubits upon the east and the north part. ²⁰ And the door in the uttermost court toward the north, measured he after the length and breadth: ²¹ his three chambers also on either side, with his pillars and fore entries: which had even the measure of the first door. His height was fifty cubits, the breadth twenty five cubits: ²² his windows and porches with his date trees, had even like measure as the door toward the east: there were seven steps to go up upon, and their porch before them. ²³ Now the door of the innermore court stood straight over against the door, that was toward the north east. From one door to another, he measured a hundred cubits. ²⁴ After that, he brought me to the south side, where there stood a door toward the south: whose pillars and porches he measured, these had the first measure, ²⁵ and with their porches they had windows round about, like the first windows. The height was fifty cubits, the breadth twenty five, ²⁶ with steps to go up upon: his porch stood before him, with his pillars and date trees on either side. ²⁷ And the door of the innermore court stood toward the south, and he measured from one door to another a hundred cubits. ²⁸ So he brought me into the innermore court, through the door of the south side: which he measured, and it had the measure afore said. ²⁹ In like manner, his chambers, pillars, and fore entries, had even the foresaid measure also. And he had with his porches round about, windows of fifty cubits high, and twenty five cubits broad. ³⁰ The porches round about were twenty five cubits long, and five cubits broad: ³¹ and his porch reached unto the uttermost court: upon his pillars there were date trees, and eight steps to go up upon. ³² He brought me also into the inmost court upon the east side, and measured the door, according to the measure afore said. ³³ His chambers, pillars, and porches had even the same measure, as they first had: and with his porches he had windows round about. The height was fifty cubits, the breadth twenty five cubits: ³⁴ His porches reached unto the uttermost court: his pillars also had date trees on either side, and eight steps to go up upon. ³⁵ And he brought me to the north door, and measured it, which also had the foresaid measure. ³⁶ His chambers, pillars, and porches had windows round about: whose height was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty five. ³⁷ His pillars stood toward the uttermost court, and upon them both were date trees, and eight steps to go up upon. ³⁸ There stood a chamber also, whose entrance was at the door pillars, and there the burnt offerings were washed. ³⁹ In the door porch, there stood on either side two tables for the slaughtering; to slay the burnt offerings, sin offerings, and trespass offerings thereupon. ⁴⁰ And on the outside as men go forth to the north door, there stood two tables. ⁴¹ Four tables stood on either side of the door, that is eight tables, where upon they slaughtered. ⁴² Four tables were of hewn stone for the burnt offerings, of a cubit and a half long and broad, and one cubit high: whereupon were laid the vessels and ornaments, which were used to the burnt and the slain offerings, when they were slaughtered. ⁴³ And within there were hooks four fingers broad, fastened round about, to hang flesh upon, and upon the tables was laid the offering flesh. ⁴⁴ On the outside of the innermore door were the singers' chambers in the inward court beside the North door over against the South. There stood one also, beside the east door northward. ⁴⁵ And he said unto me, "This chamber on the South side belongeth to the priests, that keep the habitation: ⁴⁶ and this toward the North, is the priests' that wait upon the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, which of the sons of Levi come near to the LORD, to minister unto him." ⁴⁷ So he measured the fore court, which had in length a hundred cubits, and as much in breadth by the four corners. Now the altar stood before the house: ⁴⁸ And he brought me to the fore entry of the house, and measured the walls by the entry door: which were five cubits long on either side. The thickness also of the door on either side, was three cubits. ⁴⁹ The length of the porch was twenty cubits, the breadth eleven cubits, and upon steps went men up to it: by the walls also were pillars, on either side one.

¹ After this he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts: which were of both the sides six cubits thick, according to the wideness of the tabernacle. ² The breadth of the door was ten cubits and the walls of the door on either side five cubits. He measured the length thereof, which contained forty cubits, and the breadth twenty. ³ Then went he in, and measured the door posts, which were two cubits thick: but the door itself was six cubits, and the breadth of the door was seven cubits. ⁴ He measured the length and breadth thereof, which were every one twenty cubits, before the temple. And he said unto me, "This is the holiest of all." ⁵ He measured also the wall of the house, which was six cubits. The chambers that stood round about the house, were every one four cubits wide,

² Behold, then came the glory of the God of Israel from out of the east, whose voice was like a great noise of waters, and the earth was lightened with his glory.

⁷ that said unto me, "O thou son of man, this room is my seat, and the place of my footsteps: whereas I will dwell among the children of Israel for evermore - so that the house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, through their whoredom; through their high places; and through the dead bodies of their kings,

⁹ Therefore thus sayeth the LORD God: Of all the strangers that dwell among the children of Israel, no stranger, whose heart and flesh is not circumcised, shall come within my Sanctuary:

⁸ Upon the borders of Judah from the east part unto the west, ye shall set aside one portion of twenty five thousand measuring rods long and broad - like as another portion from the east side unto the west - wherein the Sanctuary shall stand. ⁹ As for the portion, that ye shall separate out for the LORD: it shall be twenty five thousand measuring rods long, and ten thousand broad. ¹⁰ Which separated holy portion shall belong unto these: namely to the priests, toward the north twenty five thousand and toward the west ten thousand broad, toward the east ten thousand broad also, and toward south twenty five thousand long, wherein the Sanctuary of the LORD shall stand. ¹¹ Yea, this same place shall be the priests, that are of the children of Zadok and have kept my holy ordinance: which went not astray in the error of the children of Israel, like as the Levites are gone astray. ¹² And this separated piece that they have of the land, shall be the most holy, hard upon the borders of the Levites. ¹³ And next unto the priests, shall the Levites have twenty five thousand long, and ten thousand broad. This shall be on every side twenty five thousand long, and ten thousand broad. ¹⁴ Of this portion they shall sell nothing, nor make any permutation there of, lest the chief of the land fall unto other, for it is hallowed unto the LORD. ¹⁵ The other five thousand after the breadth that lieth by the twenty five thousand shall be common: it shall belong to the city and to the suburbs for habitations, and the city shall stand in the midst thereof.

¹⁵ The other five thousand after the breadth that lieth by the twenty five thousand shall be common: it shall belong to the city and to the suburbs for habitations, and the city shall stand in the midst thereof. ¹⁶ Let this be the measure: toward the north part, five hundred and four thousand; toward the south part five hundred and four thousand; toward the east part five hundred and four thousand; toward the west part five hundred and four thousand.

¹⁶ Let this be the measure: toward the north part, five hundred and four thousand; toward the south part five hundred and four thousand; toward the east part five hundred and four thousand; toward the west part five hundred and four thousand. ¹⁷ The suburbs hard upon the city shall have toward the north, fifty and two hundred; and toward the south, fifty and two hundred; and toward the east, fifty and two hundred; and toward the west also, fifty and two hundred.

¹⁷ The suburbs hard upon the city shall have toward the north, fifty and two hundred; and toward the south, fifty and two hundred; and toward the east, fifty and two hundred; and toward the west also, fifty and two hundred. ¹⁸ As for the residue of the length, that lieth hard upon the separated holy ground: namely ten thousand toward the east and ten thousand toward the west, next unto the holy portion: it and the increase thereof shall serve for their meat, that labour in the city.

¹⁸ As for the residue of the length, that lieth hard upon the separated holy ground: namely ten thousand toward the east and ten thousand toward the west, next unto the holy portion: it and the increase thereof shall serve for their meat, that labour in the city. ¹⁹ They that labour for the wealth of the city, shall maintain this also, out of what tribe soever they be in Israel.

¹⁹ They that labour for the wealth of the city, shall maintain this also, out of what tribe soever they be in Israel. ²⁰ All that is separated of the twenty five thousand long and twenty five thousand broad on the four parts, that shall ye put aside for the separated portion of the Sanctuary, and for the possession of the city.

²⁰ All that is separated of the twenty five thousand long and twenty five thousand broad on the four parts, that shall ye put aside for the separated portion of the Sanctuary, and for the possession of the city. ²¹ The residue upon both the sides of the Sanctuary and possession of the city, shall belong to the prince, before the place of the twenty five thousand unto the east end, and before the place of the twenty five thousand westward, unto the borders of the city: this shall be the prince's portion. This shall be the holy place, and the house of the Sanctuary shall stand in the midst. ²² Moreover, from the Levites and the cities possession, that lie in the midst of the prince's part, look: what remaineth betwixt the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, it shall be the prince's.

³¹ "The ports of the city, shall have the names of the tribes of Israel. Three ports of the north side: one Reuben, another Judah, the third Levi. ³² Upon the east side, five hundred and four thousand measures, with three ports: the one Joseph, another Benjamin, the third Dan. ³³ Upon the south side, five hundred and four thousand measures, with three ports: the one Simeon, another Issachar, the third Zebulon. ³⁴ And upon the west side, five hundred and four thousand measures, with three ports also: the one Gad, another Asher, the third Naphtali. ³⁵ Thus shall it have eighteen thousand measures round about. And from that time forth, the name of the city shall be, 'The LORD is there.'"

³ and four great beasts came up from the sea, one unlike another.

¹⁴ had not I defended him from the grave, and delivered him from death. O death, I will be thy death: O hell, I will be thy sting.

⁴ I will heal their obedience and will love them of mine own accord: for my wrath is ceased from them.

¹⁷ And ye shall know that I, the LORD your God, dwell in Zion my holy mount. And Jerusalem shall be holy, and there shall no stranger pass through there any more. ¹⁸ And at that day the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the brooks of Judah shall run with water. And a fountain shall go out of the house of the LORD and water the river of Shittim.

³ God cometh from Teman, and the holy one from the mount of Paran. Selah.

¹ I lift up mine eyes again, and looked and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.

¹¹ And many nations shall cleave unto the LORD at that day and shall be my people. And I will dwell in the middle of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD Sabaoth hath sent me unto thee.

⁸ and will bring them that they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. And they shall be my people, and I will be their God in truth and righteousness.

²² Yea, much people and mighty Heathen shall come and seek the LORD of Hosts at Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD. ²³ Thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts: In that time shall ten men, out of all manner of languages of the Gentiles, take one Jew by the hem of his garment, and say, 'We will go with you, for we have heard that God is among you.'"

⁹ And the same third part will I bring through the fire, and will cleanse them, as the silver is cleansed: Yea and try them, like as gold is tried. Then shall they call upon my name, and I will hear them: I will say, 'It is my people.' And they shall say, 'LORD, my God.'"

⁷ This shall be that special day which is known unto the LORD: neither day nor night, but about the evening time it shall be light.

²¹ yea all the kettles in Jerusalem and Judah shall be holy unto the LORD of Hosts: and all they that slay offerings, shall come and take of them, and dight them therein. And at that time there shall be no more Cananites in the house of the LORD.

⁵ I will come and punish you, and I myself will be a swift witness against the witches, against the adulterers, against false swearers: yea, and against those that wrongfully keep back the hireling's duty, which vex the widows and the fatherless, and oppress the stranger, and fear not me, sayeth the LORD of Hosts.

²⁶ And he said unto them, "Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?" Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there followed a great calm.

² The names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon which is called also Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; ³ Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus, otherwise called Thaddeus; ⁴ Simon of Canaan, and Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him.

²⁸ And fear ye not them which kill the body, and be not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body into hell.

⁴¹ The son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that do offend, and all them which do iniquity,

⁴⁵ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant, that seeketh good pearls, ⁴⁶ which when he had found one precious pearl, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

¹⁸ And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter. And upon this rock, I will build my congregation: and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

²⁷ For the son of man shall come in the glory of his father, with his angels, and then shall he reward every man according to his deeds.

¹⁰ See that ye despise not one of these little ones. For I say unto you, that in heaven their angels always behold the face of my father, which is in heaven.

²⁹ And whosoever forsaketh houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake; the same shall receive a hundred fold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

³⁵ Heaven and earth shall perish: but my words shall abide.

³⁴ Then shall the King say to them on his right hand, 'Come, ye blessed children of my father, inherit ye the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world.

³⁸ Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words, among this adulterous and sinful generation: of him shall the son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his father with the holy angels."

¹⁷ And when he was come out into the way, there came one running and kneeled to him, and asked him, "Good Master, what shall I do, that I may inherit eternal life?"

³² A light to lighten the gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel."

⁴ I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. ⁵ But I will show you, whom ye shall fear. Fear him which after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. Yea I say unto you, him fear. ⁶ Are not five sparrows bought for two farthings? and yet not one of them is forgotten of God. ⁷ Also, even the very hairs of your heads are numbered. Fear not therefore: Ye are more of value, than many sparrows. ⁸ I say unto you, Whosoever confesseth me before men, even him shall the son of man confess also before the angels of God. ⁹ And he that denieth me before men, shall be denied before the angels of God.

¹⁰ Likewise I say unto you, Joy is made in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth."

²² And it fortuned that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: The rich man also died, and was buried in hell.

⁴ In it was life; And the life was the light of men;

⁹ That was a true light, which lighteneth all men that come into the world.

¹⁴ And the word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw the glory of it, as the glory of the only begotten son of the father, which word was full of grace, and verity.

¹⁸ No man hath seen God at any time. The only begotten son, which is in the father's bosom, hath declared him.

¹⁹ Jesus answered, and said unto them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will rear it up again." ²⁰ Then said the Jews, "Forty six years was this temple a building: and wilt thou raise it up in three days?" ²¹ But he spake of the temple of his body.

²⁹ He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: But the friend of the bridegroom which standeth by and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly of the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this, my joy, is fulfilled.

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said unto her, "If thou knowest the gift of God, and who it is, that sayeth to thee, 'Give me drink': thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee water of life."

¹⁴ But whosoever shall drink of the water that I shall give him, shall never be more a thirst: But the water that I shall give him, shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."

²¹ Jesus said unto her, "Woman, believe me; The hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the father.

²³ But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the father in spirit, and in truth. For verily, such the father requireth to worship him.

²³ because that all men should honour the son, even as they honour the father. He that honoureth not the son, the same honoureth not the father which hath sent him.

³⁷ In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink. ³⁸ He that believeth on me, as sayeth the scripture, 'Out of his belly shall flow rivers of water of life.'"

⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father, ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning; And abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, then speaketh he of his own. For he is a liar, and the father thereof.

³⁰ And I and my father are one."

⁴² Nevertheless, among the chief rulers many believed on him: but because of the Pharisees they would not be a known of it, lest they should be excommunicated. ⁴³ For they loved the praise that is given of men, more than the praise that cometh of God.

²³ Jesus answered, and said unto him, "If a man love me and will keep my sayings, my father also will love him, and we will come unto him, and will dwell with him.

²⁴ "Father, I will that they, which thou hast given me, be with me where I am: that they may see my glory which thou hast given me. For thou lovedest me before the making of the world.

³⁹ And as soon as they were come out of the water, the spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; that the chamberlain saw him no more. And he went on his way rejoicing:

¹¹ And when I saw nothing for the brightness of that light, I was led by the hand of them that were with me, and came into Damascus.

⁷ unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, King Agrippa am I accused of the Jews.

²⁴ but are justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus

¹⁵ For ye have not received the spirit of bondage to fear anymore, but ye have received the spirit of adoption whereby we cry, "Abba father." ¹⁶ The same spirit certifieth our spirit that we are the sons of God. ¹⁷ If we be sons, we are also heirs: the heirs, I mean, of God: and heirs annexed with Christ. If so be that we suffer together, that we may be glorified together.

³² Which spared not his own son, but gave him for us all: How shall he not with him give us all things also?

¹⁰ And again he saith, "Ye gentiles rejoice with his people." ¹¹ And again, "Praise the Lord all ye gentiles, and laud him all nations." ¹² And in another place Isaiah saith, "There shall be the root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the gentiles: in him shall the gentiles trust."

¹⁶ for this purpose: that I should be the minister of Jesus Christ among the gentiles, and should minister the glad tidings of God, that the gentiles might be an acceptable offering, sanctified by the holy ghost.

²⁶ For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia, to make a certain distribution upon the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.

¹² And we have not received the spirit of the world: but the spirit which cometh of God, for to know the things that are given to us of God,

⁵ What is Paul? What thing is Apollos? Only ministers are they, by whom ye believed: even as the Lord gave every man grace.

¹⁰ According to the grace of God given unto me, as a wise builder have I laid the foundation; and another hath built thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth upon. ¹¹ For other foundation can no man lay, than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. ¹² If any man build on this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, timber, hay, or stubble:

²¹ Therefore let no man rejoice in men. For all things are yours,

²¹ Therefore let no man rejoice in men. For all things are yours, ²² whether it be Paul, either Apollos, either Cephas: whether it be the world, or life, either death, whether they be present things or things to come: all are yours, ²³ and ye are Christ's, and Christ is God's.

⁹ Do ye not remember how that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived. For neither fornicators, neither worshippers of images, neither whoremongers, neither weaklings, neither abusers of themselves with mankind, ¹⁰ neither thieves, neither the covetous, neither drunkards, neither cursed speakers, neither extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God.

³¹ And they that use this world, be as though they used it not: For the fashion of this world goeth away.

²⁰ Nay, but I say, that these things which the gentiles offer, they offer to devils, and not to God. And I would not that ye should have fellowship with the devils. ²¹ Ye cannot drink of the cup of the Lord, and of the cup of the devils. Ye can not be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.

²⁶ The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

⁵⁴ When this corruptible hath put on incorruptibility: and this mortal hath put on immortality: then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, "Death is consumed into victory." ⁵⁵ "Death where is thy sting? Hell where is thy victory?" ⁵⁶ The sting of death is sin: and the strength of sin is the law. ⁵⁷ But thanks be unto God, which hath given us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁵⁸ Therefore, my dear brethren, be ye steadfast and unmovable, always rich in the works of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know how that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

¹⁷ Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away: behold, all things are become new.

¹⁶ How agreeth the temple of God with images? And ye are the temple of the living God, as said God, "I will dwell among them, and walk among them, and will be their God: and they shall be my people." ¹⁷ Wherefore, "Come out from among them, and separate yourselves," saith the Lord, "and touch none unclean thing: so will I receive you, ¹⁸ and will be a father unto you, and ye shall be unto me sons and daughters," saith the Lord almighty.

² For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy. For I coupled you to one man, to make you a chaste virgin to Christ:

² I know a man in Christ above fourteen years agone — whether he were in the body I cannot tell, or whether he were out of the body I cannot tell; God knoweth - which was taken up into the third heaven. ³ And I know the same man — whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell; God knoweth - ⁴ how that he was taken up into paradise, and heard words not to be spoken, which no man can utter.

⁹ and therefore when James, Cephas, and John, which seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the righthands, and agreed with us that we should preach among the heathen, and they among the Jews:

²⁵ — For mount Sinai is called Hagar in Arabia, and bordereth upon the city which is now Jerusalem — and is in bondage with her children. ²⁶ But Jerusalem, which is above, is free: which is the mother of us all.

¹⁹ The deeds of the flesh are manifest, which are these: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, wantonness, ²⁰ idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, lawing, zeal, wrath, strife, sedition, sects, ²¹ envying, murder, drunkenness, gluttony, and such like. Of the which I tell you before, as I have told you in time past, that they which commit such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

²⁰ and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets — Jesus Christ being the head cornerstone -

⁵ which mystery in times past was not opened unto the sons of men as it is now declared unto his holy apostles and prophets by the spirit:

¹¹ And the very same, made some Apostles, some Prophets, some Evangelists, some Shepherds, some Teachers:

⁵ For this ye know, that no whoremonger, either unclean person, or covetous person, which is the worshipper of images, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ, and of God.

⁵ For this ye know, that no whoremonger, either unclean person, or covetous person, which is the worshipper of images, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ, and of God. ⁶ Let no man deceive you with vain words. For through such things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of unbelief.

²⁵ Husbands: love your wives, even as Christ loved the congregation, and gave himself for it, ²⁶ to sanctify it, and cleansed it in the fountain of water through the word, ²⁷ to make it unto himself a glorious congregation without spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it should be holy and without blame.

³⁰ For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. ³¹ "For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall continue with his wife, and two shall be made one flesh." ³² This is a great secret, but I speak between Christ and the congregation.

³ Yea, and I beseech thee faithful yokefellow, help the women which laboured with me in the gospel, and with Clement also, and with others, my labour fellows, whose names are in the book of life.

¹⁹ For it pleased the father that in him should all fullness dwell,

⁹ For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily,

⁹ even him whose coming is by the working of Satan, with all lying power, signs, and wonders:

⁹ understanding this, how that the law is not given unto a righteous man, but unto the unrighteous and disobedient, to the ungodly and to sinners, to unholy and unclean, to murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, to manslayers ¹⁰ and whoremongers; to them that defile themselves with mankind; to menstealers; to liars and to perjured, and so forth if there be any other thing that is contrary to wholesome doctrine

² and devilish doctrine of them which speak false through hypocrisy, and have their consciences marked with a hot iron,

¹⁴ Are they not all spirits to do service, sent for to minister for their sakes, which shall be heirs of salvation?

¹⁴ Forasmuch, then, as the children were partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part with them, for to put down through death him that had lordship over death: that is to say, the devil. ¹⁵ And that he might deliver them which, through fear of death, all their life time were in danger of bondage.

¹⁰ For this is the testament that I will make with the house of Israel: After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws in their minds, and in their hearts, I will write them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

¹ That first tabernacle verily had ordinances and servings of God, and worldly holiness. ² For there was a fore tabernacle made, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the show bread, which is called holy. ³ But within the second veil was there a tabernacle, which is called holiest of all, ⁴ which had the golden censer, and the ark of the testament overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot with manna, and Aaron's rod that sprung, and the tables of the testament. ⁵ Over the ark were the cherubims of glory shadowing the seat of grace. Of which things, we will not now speak particularly. ⁶ When these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle and executed the service of God: ⁷ But into the second went the high priest alone, once every year: and not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the ignorance of the people. ⁸ Wherewith the holy ghost this signifying, that the way of holy things was not yet opened, while as yet the first tabernacle was standing, ⁹ which was a similitude for the time then present, and in which were offered gifts and sacrifices that could not make them that minister perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; ¹⁰ with meats only and drinks, and divers washings, and justifyings of the flesh, which were ordained until the time of reformation. ¹¹ But Christ being a high priest of good things to come, came by a greater, and a more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands: that is to say, not of this manner building, ¹² neither by the blood of goats, and calves: but by his own blood, we entered once for all into the holy place, and found eternal redemption.

¹⁰ For he looked for a city having a foundation, whose builder and maker is God.

¹⁶ But now they desire a better, that is to say a heavenly. Wherefore God is not ashamed of them, even to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

¹⁴ Embrace peace with all men, and holiness; without the which, no man shall see the Lord.

²² But ye are come unto the mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the celestial Jerusalem: and to an innumerable sight of angels,

²⁴ and to Jesus, the mediator of the new testament, and to the sprinkling of blood that speaketh better than the blood of Abel.

⁴ Let wedlock be had in price in all points, and let the chamber be undefiled: for whore keepers and adulterers God will judge.

¹⁴ For here have we no continuing city: but we seek a one to come.

³ Blessed be God, the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which through his abundant mercy begat us again unto a lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from death, ⁴ to enjoy an inheritance immortal, and undefiled, and that perisheth not; reserved in heaven for you

⁹ not rendering evil for evil, neither rebuke for rebuke: but contrariwise, bless: remembering that ye are thereunto called, even that ye should be heirs of blessing.

¹⁴ Notwithstanding, happy are ye if ye suffer for righteousness' sake. Yea, and fear not though they seem terrible unto you, neither be troubled: ¹⁵ but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. Be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, and that with meekness and fear:

¹⁰ Nevertheless, the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in the which day, the heavens shall perish with terrible noise, and the elements shall melt with heat, and the earth, with the works that are therein, shall burn.

¹³ Nevertheless, we look for a new heaven, and a new earth, according to his promise, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

¹⁷ And the world vanisheth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God, abideth ever.

²² Who is a liar, but he that denieth that Jesus is Christ? The same is the antichrist that denieth the father and the son.

¹ Behold what love the father hath showed on us, that we should be called the sons of God. For this cause the world knoweth you not; because it knoweth not him. ² Dearly beloved, now are we the sons of God, and yet it doth not appear what we shall be. But we know that when it shall appear, we shall be like him. For we shall see him as he is. ³ And every man that hath this hope in him, purgeth himself, even as he is pure.

¹⁵ Whosoever hateth his brother, is a man slayer. And ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

⁴ For all that is born of God, overcometh the world. And this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. ⁵ Who is it that overcometh the world: but he which believeth that Jesus is the son of God?

¹⁰ He that believeth in the son of God hath the witness in himself. He that believeth not God, maketh him a liar, because he doth not believe the witness that God hath testified of his son.

¹⁷ But ye, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹ The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, for to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass. And he sent and showed by his angel unto his servant John,

⁴ John, to the seven congregations in Asia. Grace be with you and peace, from him which is and which was, and which is to come: and from the seven spirits which are present before his throne,

⁸ "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending," saith the Lord almighty, which is and which was and which is to come. ⁹ John, your brother and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience which is in Jesus Christ, was in the isle of Patmos for the word of God, and for the witnessing of Jesus Christ. ¹⁰ I was in the spirit on a Sunday, and heard behind me a great voice, as it had been of a trumpet, ¹¹ saying, "I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last. That thou seest, write in a book and send it unto the congregations which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamum, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea."

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I fell at his feet, even as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, "Fear not. I am the first and the last,

¹⁹ Write therefore the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be fulfilled hereafter;

² I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not forbear them which are evil: and examinedst them which say they are apostles, and are not: and hast found them liars.

⁷ Let him that hath ears hear, what the spirit saith unto the congregations. To him that overcometh, will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.'

¹¹ Let him that hath ears hear, what the spirit saith to the congregations: He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.'

¹⁷ Let him that hath ears hear what the spirit sayth unto the congregations: To him that overcometh will I give to eat Manna that is hid, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth, saving he that receiveth it.'

²⁵ but that which you have already. Hold fast till I come,

⁵ He that overcometh shall be clothed in white array, and I will not put out his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my father, and before his angels.

¹² Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out. And I will write upon him, the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God and I will write upon him my new name.

² And immediately I was in the spirit; and behold, a seat was put in heaven, and one sat on the seat. ³ And he that sat was, to look upon, like unto a jasper stone, and a sardine stone: And there was a rainbow about the seat, in sight like unto an emerald.

⁶ And before the seat there was a sea of glass, like unto crystal, and in the midst of the seat, and round about the seat, were four beats full of eyes before and behind.

⁸ And the four beasts had, each one of them, six wings about him, and they were full of eyes within. And they had no rest day neither night saying, "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God almighty, which was, and is, and is to come." ⁹ And when those beasts gave glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the seat, which liveth forever and ever,

¹ And I saw, in the right hand of him that sat in the throne, a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.

⁶ And I beheld, and lo, in the midst of the seat and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a lamb as though he had been killed, which had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the spirits of God, sent into all the world.

⁴ And I heard the number of them which were sealed, and there were sealed a hundred and forty four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

⁴ And I heard the number of them which were sealed, and there were sealed a hundred and forty four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. ⁵ Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Ruben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. ⁶ Of the tribe of Asher were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Naphtali were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasseh were sealed twelve thousand. ⁷ Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. ⁸ Of the tribe of Zebulun were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

¹⁵ therefore are they in the presence of the seat of God and serve him day and night in his temple, and he that sitteth in the seat will dwell among them.

¹⁷ For the lamb which is in the midst of the seat, shall feed them, and shall lead them unto fountains of living water, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes."

²¹ Also they repented not of their murder, and of their sorcery, neither of their fornication, neither of their theft.

⁴ And when the seven thunders had spoken their voices, I was about to write. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, "Seal up those things which the seven thunders spake, and write them not."

⁶ and swore by him that liveth forevermore, which created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which therein are; that there should be no longer time:

⁸ And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, "Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel, which standeth upon the sea, and upon the earth."

¹ And then was given me a reed, like unto a rod, and it was said unto me, "Rise and mete the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein; ² but the court which is without the temple cast out, and mete it not: for it is given unto the gentiles, and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty two months.

² but the court which is without the temple cast out, and mete it not: for it is given unto the gentiles, and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty two months.

¹⁷ saying, "We give thee thanks Lord God, almighty: which art and wast, and art to come, for thou hast received thy great might, and hast reigned.

¹⁰ And I heard a loud voice saying, "In heaven is now made salvation and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: For he is cast down which accused them before God day and night:

¹ And I stood on the sea sand. And I saw a beast rise out of the sea, having seven heads, and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his head, the name of blasphemy.

⁸ and all that dwell upon the earth worshipped him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the lamb, which was killed from the beginning of the world.

¹⁸ Here is wisdom. Let him that hath wit count the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man, and his number is six hundred, threescore and six.

³ And they sang as it were a new song, before the seat, and before the four beasts, and the elders and no man could learn that song, but the hundred and forty four thousand which were redeemed from the earth.

¹ And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is fulfilled the wrath of God. ² And I saw as it were a glassy sea, mingled with fire, and them that had gotten victory of the beast, and of his image, and of his mark, and of the number of his name, stand on the glassy sea, having the harps of God ³ and they sang the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the lamb, saying,

³ and they sang the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the lamb, saying, ⁴ Who shall not fear, o Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou only art holy, and all gentiles shall come and worship before thee, for thy judgments are made manifest." ⁵ And after that I looked, and behold the temple of the tabernacle of testimony was open in heaven, ⁶ and the seven angels came out of the temple, which had the seven plagues, clothed in pure and bright linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles. ⁷ And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials, full of the wrath of God which liveth for evermore. ⁸ And the temple was full of the smoke of the glory of God and of his power, and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

¹ And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, "Go your ways, pour out your vials of wrath upon the earth." ² And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth, and there fell a noisome and a sore botch upon the men, which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. ³ And the second angel shed out his vial upon the sea, and it turned as it were into the blood of a dead man, and every living thing died in the sea. ⁴ And the third angel shed out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters, and they turned to blood. ⁵ And I heard an angel say, "Lord which art and wast, thou art righteous and holy, because thou hast given such judgments, ⁶ for they shed out the blood of saints, and prophets, and therefore hast thou given them blood to drink: for they are worthy." ⁷ And I heard another out of the altar say, "Even so, Lord God almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments."

⁷ And I heard another out of the altar say, "Even so, Lord God almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments." ⁸ And the fourth angel poured out his vial on the sun, and power was given unto him to vex men with heat of fire. ⁹ And the men raged in great heat, and spake evil of the name of God which hath power over those plagues, and they repented not, to give him glory. ¹⁰ And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast, and his kingdom waxed dark, and they gnawed their tongues for sorrow, ¹¹ and blasphemed the God of heaven for sorrow, and pain of their sores, and repented not of their deeds. ¹² And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates, and the water dried up, that the ways of the kings of the east should be prepared. ¹³ And I saw three unclean spirits, like frogs, come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. ¹⁴ For they are the spirits of devils working miracles, to go out unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God almighty.

¹⁴ For they are the spirits of devils working miracles, to go out unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God almighty. ¹⁵ "Behold I come as a thief. Happy is he that watcheth and keepeth his garments; Lest he be found naked, and men see his filthiness." ¹⁶ And he gathered them together into a place called, in the Hebrew tongue, Armageddon. ¹⁷ And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air. And there came a voice out of heaven from the seat, saying, "It is done."

¹⁷ And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air. And there came a voice out of heaven from the seat, saying, "It is done."

¹ And there came one of the seven angels, which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, "Come, I will show thee the judgment of the great whore, that sitteth upon many waters,

³ And he carried me away into the wilderness in the spirit. And I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet beast full of names of blasphemy, which had ten horns. ⁴ And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold, precious stone, and pearls, and had a cup of gold in her hand, full of abominations, and filthiness of her fornication.

⁴ And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold, precious stone, and pearls, and had a cup of gold in her hand, full of abominations, and filthiness of her fornication. ⁵ And in her forehead was a name written, a mystery: "Great Babylon, the mother of whoredom and abominations of the earth."

¹ And after that I saw another angel come from heaven, having great power, and the earth was lightened with his brightness.

¹⁶ and saying, 'Alas alas, that great city, that was clothed in raynes, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stone, and pearls:

²⁰ Rejoice over her thou heaven, and ye holy apostles, and prophets: for God hath given your judgment on her."

⁷ Let us be glad and rejoice and give honour to him: for the marriage of the lamb is come, and his wife made herself ready.

⁷ Let us be glad and rejoice and give honour to him: for the marriage of the lamb is come, and his wife made herself ready. ⁸ And to her was granted, that she should be arrayed with pure and goodly raynes" — For the raynes is the righteousness of saints. ⁹ And he said unto me, "Blessed are they which are called unto the Lamb's supper." And he said unto me, "These are the true sayings of God."

¹⁵ and out of his mouth went out a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the heathen. And he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and he trod the wine-vat of fierceness and wrath of almighty God.

²⁰ And the beast was taken, and with him that false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that received the beast's mark, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast into a pond of fire burning with brimstone:

¹¹ And I saw a great white seat and him that sat on it, from whose face fled away both the earth and heaven, and their place was no more found. ¹² And I saw the dead, both great and small, stand before God: And the books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the book of life, and the dead were judged of those things which were written in the books according to their deeds.

¹⁴ And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is that second death.

¹⁴ And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is that second death. ¹⁵ And whosoever was not found written in the book of life, was cast into the lake of fire.

¹⁵ And whosoever was not found written in the book of life, was cast into the lake of fire.

¹ And I saw a new heaven, and a new earth. For the first heaven and the first earth were vanished away, and there was no more sea. ² And I, John, saw that holy city, new Jerusalem, come down from God out of heaven prepared as a bride garnished for her husband. ³ And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them. And they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them and be their God. ⁴ And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. And there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, neither crying, neither shall there be any more pain, for the old things are gone. ⁵ And he that sat upon the seat said, "Behold I make all things new." And he said unto me, "Write, for these words are faithful and true."

⁵ And he that sat upon the seat said, "Behold I make all things new." And he said unto me, "Write, for these words are faithful and true."

⁷ He that overcometh shall inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. ⁸ But the fearful and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." ⁹ And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues: and talked with me saying, "Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb's wife." ¹⁰ And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and a high mountain, and he showed me the great city, holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, ¹¹ having the brightness of God. And her shining was like unto a stone most precious, even a Jasper clear as Crystal:

¹¹ having the brightness of God. And her shining was like unto a stone most precious, even a Jasper clear as Crystal: ¹² and had walls great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels: and names written, which are the twelve tribes of Israel:

¹⁷ And he measured the wall thereof a hundred and forty four cubits: the measure that the angel had was after the measure that man useth. ¹⁸ And the building of the wall of it was of jasper. And the city was pure gold like unto clear glass

¹⁸ And the building of the wall of it was of jasper. And the city was pure gold like unto clear glass

¹⁸ And the building of the wall of it was of jasper. And the city was pure gold like unto clear glass ¹⁹ and the foundations of the wall of the city was garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third a chalcedony, the fourth an emerald:

¹⁹ and the foundations of the wall of the city was garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third a chalcedony, the fourth an emerald: ²⁰ the fifth sardonyx: the sixth sardius: the seventh chrysolite: the eighth beryl: the ninth a topaz: the tenth a chrysoprasus: the eleventh a jacinth: the twelfth an amethyst. ²¹ The twelve gates were twelve pearls, every gate was of one pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, as through shining glass.

²¹ The twelve gates were twelve pearls, every gate was of one pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, as through shining glass. ²² And there was no temple therein. For the Lord God almighty and the lamb are the temple of it. ²³ And the city hath no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to lighten it. For the brightness of God did light it: and the lamb was the light of it.

²³ And the city hath no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to lighten it. For the brightness of God did light it: and the lamb was the light of it. ²⁴ And the people which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory unto it. ²⁵ And the gates of it are not shut by day. For there shall be no night there. ²⁶ And in to it shall they bring the glory and honour of the nations.

¹ And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the seat of God and of the lamb. ² In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river was there wood of life; which bare twelve manner of fruits, and gave fruit every month: and the leaves of the wood served to heal the people withal. ³ And there shall be no more curse, but the seat of God and the lamb shall be in it: and his servants shall serve him.

⁵ And there shall be no more night there and they need no candle, neither light of the sun: for the Lord God giveth them light, and they shall reign for evermore. ⁶ And he said unto me, "These sayings are faithful, and true. And the Lord God of saints and prophets sent his angel to show unto his servants, the things which must shortly be fulfilled.

¹³ I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last." ¹⁴ Blessed are they that do his commandments, that their power may be in the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. ¹⁵ For without shall be dogs and enchanters, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth or maketh lies.

¹⁵ For without shall be dogs and enchanters, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth or maketh lies.

¹⁷ And the spirit and the bride said, "Come." And let him that heareth, say also "Come." And let him that is athirst come. And let whosoever will, take of the water of life free.

¹⁹ And if any man shall minish of the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from those things which are written in this book.
