\subsection{Revelation 21}
\VS{1} And I saw [a] new heaven and [a] new earth, for the first heaven and the first 
earth departed, and the sea no longer is. 
\VS{2} And I saw the new holy city Jerusalem descending out of heaven from God, 
prepared as [a] bride adorned for her husband. 
\VS{3} And I heard [a] great voice from the throne saying: Behold 
the tent of God [is] with men, and he will tent with them, and they will be his 
people, and God himself will be with them. 
\VS{4} And he will wipe every tear from their eyes, and death will be no longer, 
for the first [things] have departed. 
\VS{5} And the [one] having sat upon the throne said: Behold I make everything new. 
And he says: Write, for these words are trustworthy and true. 
\VS{6} And he said to me: It is come to pass. I [am] the Alpha and the Omega\footnote{Alpha: the first letter of the Greek alphabet, Omega the last. ``I [am] the A and Z''}, the 
beginning and the end. To the [one] thirsting I myself will give [a] gift from the 
springs of the water of zoe-life\fnZoe{}. 
\VS{7} The [one] overcoming will inherit these [things], 
and I will be God to him, and he will be son to me. 
\VS{8} But to the timid\footnote{or ``cowardly''} and non-believing and abominable 
and murderers and fornicators and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars [will have] 
their part in the lake burning with fire and sulfur, which is the second death. 
\VS{9} And one of the angels having the seven bowls filled with the seven 
last plagues came and spoke with me saying: Come! I will show you the bride, 
the wife of the lamb. 
\VS{10} And he brought me in the spirit to [a] great and 
high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem descending out of 
heaven from God, 
\VS{11} having the glory of God, her radiance like [a] 
precious stone, like jasper, clean as crystal, 
\VS{12} having [a] great and 
high wall, having twelve gates, and upon the gates twelve angels, and names 
inscribed, which are the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel. 
\VS{13} From the east [are] three gates, and from the north [are] three gates, 
and from the south [are] three gates, and from the west [are] three gates. 
\VS{14} And the wall of the 
city [was] having twelve foundations, and upon them twelve names of the twelve 
apostles of the lamb. 
\VS{15} And the [one] speaking with me had [a] golden 
measuring rod, in order that he measure the city and her gates and her wall. 
\VS{16} And the city lay square, and her length [was] as great as [her] breadth. And 
he measured the city with [a] rod, twelve thousand stadiums\footnote{approx 
1300 miles (1 stade = 607 ft).}; her length and breadth and height are 
equal. 
\VS{17} And he measures her wall, one hundred forty four 
cubits\footnote{about 150 feet (1 cubit equals approximately 18 inches)}, 
[according to the] measure of man, which is of [the] angel. 
\VS{18} And the material of her wall is 
jasper, and the city [was] pure gold like pure crystal. 
\VS{19} The foundations 
of the wall of the city [were] adorned with every precious stone, the first 
foundation jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth 
emerald, 
\VS{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. 
\VS{21} And the twelve gates [are] twelve 
pearls, each one of the gates was from one pearl. And the street of the city 
[is] pure gold as transparent glass. 
\VS{22} And I saw no temple in her, for the 
Lord God almighty [is] her temple, and the lamb. 
\VS{23} And the city has no 
need of the sun nor of the moon, in order that they shine on her, for the 
glory of God illumined her, and her lamp [is] the lamb. 
\VS{24} And the nations walk through her light, 
and the kings of the land bring their glory into her, 
\VS{25} and her gates will \negd{not} be shut by day, for there will be no night there. 
\VS{26} And they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into her. 
\VS{27} And there shall \negd{not} enter into her any common 
and the [one] doing abomination and falsehood, except those 
written in the scroll of zoe-life\fnZoe{} of the lamb.
