I saw no temple in the city, *for its temple is the God of surpassing strength and the Lamb.

And the city has no need of sun or moon to light it, *for the glory of God shines on it, and its lamp is the Lamb.

By its light the nations shall walk, *and the rulers of the world lay their honor and glory there.

Its gates shall never be shut by day, nor shall there be any night; *into it they will bring the honor and glory of nations.

I saw the clean river of the water of life, bright as crystal, *flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

The tree of life spanned the river, giving fruit every month, *and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of nations.

All curses cease where the throne of God and the Lamb stands, and all servants give worship there; *there they will see God’s face, whose Name shall be on their foreheads.
