Revelation 21:21-22:5 CEV . . .Each of the twelve gates [in New Jerusalem] was a solid pearl. The streets of the city were made of pure gold, clear as crystal. (22)
I did not see a temple there. The LORD (יהוה) God All-Powerful and the Lamb were its temple. (23) And the city did not need the sun or the moon.
The glory of God was shining on it, and the Lamb was its light. (24) Nations will walk by the light of that city, and kings will bring their riches there. (25) Its gates are always open during the day, and night never comes. (26) The glorious treasures of nations will be brought into the city. (27) But nothing unworthy will be allowed to enter. No one who is dirty-minded or who tells lies will be there. Only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life will be in the city.
Revelation 22:1-5 CEV The angel showed me a river that was crystal clear, and its waters gave life. The river came from the throne where God and the Lamb were seated. (2) Then it flowed down the middle of the city's main street. On each side of the river are trees that grow a different kind of fruit each month of the year. The fruit gives life, and the leaves are used as medicine to heal the nations. (3) God's curse will no longer be on the people of that city. He and the Lamb will be seated there on their thrones, and its people will worship God (4) and will see him face to face. God's name will be written on the foreheads of the people. (5) Never again will night appear, and no one who lives there will ever need a lamp or the sun. The LORD (יהוה) God will be their light, and they will rule forever.
Revelation 21:21-22:5 GNB . . .The twelve gates [of New Jerusalem] were twelve pearls; each gate was made from a single pearl. The street of the city was of pure gold, transparent as glass. (22)
I did not see a temple in the city, because its temple is the LORD (יהוה) God Almighty and the Lamb. (23) The city has no need of the sun or the moon to shine on it, because the glory of God shines on it, and the Lamb is its lamp. (24) The peoples of the world will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their wealth into it. (25) The gates of the city will stand open all day; they will never be closed, because there will be no night there. (26) The greatness and the wealth of the nations will be brought into the city. (27) But nothing that is impure will enter the city, nor anyone who does shameful things or tells lies. Only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of the living will enter the city.
Revelation 22:1-5 GNB The angel also showed me the river of the water of life, sparkling like crystal, and coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb (2) and flowing down the middle of the city's street. On each side of the river was the tree of life, which bears fruit twelve times a year, once each month; and its leaves are for the healing of the nations. (3) Nothing that is under God's curse will be found in the city. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will worship him. (4) They will see his face, and his name will be written on their foreheads. (5) There shall be no more night, and they will not need lamps or sunlight, because the LORD (יהוה) God will be their light, and they will rule as kings forever and ever.
Revelation 21:21-22:5 GW . . .The 12 gates [in New Jerusalem] were 12 pearls. Each gate was made of one pearl. The street of the city was made of pure gold, as clear as glass. (22) I did not see any temple in it, because the Lord God Almighty and the lamb are its temple. (23) The city doesn't need any sun or moon to give it light because the glory of God gave it light. The lamb was its lamp. (24) The nations will walk in its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it. (25) Its gates will be open all day. They will never close because there won't be any night there. (26) They will bring the glory and wealth of the nations into the holy city. (27) Nothing unclean, no one who does anything detestable, and no liars will ever enter it. Only those whose names are written in the lamb's Book of Life will enter it.
Revelation 22:1-5 GW . . .The angel showed me a river filled with the water of life, as clear as crystal. It was flowing from the throne of God and the lamb. (2) Between the street of the city and the river there was a tree of life visible from both sides. It produced 12 kinds of fruit. Each month had its own fruit. The leaves of the tree will heal the nations. (3) There will no longer be any curse. The throne of God and the lamb will be in the city. His servants will worship him (4) and see his face. His name will be on their foreheads. (5) There will be no more night, and they will not need any light from lamps or the sun because the Lord God will shine on them. They will rule as kings forever and ever.
Revelation 21:21-22:5 NWT . . .Also, the twelve gates [in New Jerusalem] were twelve pearls; each one of the gates was made of one pearl. And the broad way of the city was pure gold, as transparent glass. 22 And I did not see a temple in it, for Jehovah (יהוה) God the Almighty is its temple, also the Lamb [is]. 23 And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon to shine upon it, for the glory of God lighted it up, and its lamp was the Lamb. 24 And the nations will walk by means of its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it. 25 And its gates will not be closed at all by day, for night will not exist there. 26 And they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it. 27 But anything not sacred and anyone that carries on a disgusting thing and a lie will in no way enter into it; only those written in the Lamb’s scroll of life [will]. 22 And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, flowing out from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of its broad way. And on this side of the river and on that side [there were] trees of life producing twelve crops of fruit, yielding their fruits each month. And the leaves of the trees [were] for the curing of the nations. 3 And no more will there be any curse. But the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in [the city], and his slaves will render him sacred service; 4 and they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 Also, night will be no more, and they have no need of lamplight nor [do they have] sunlight, because Jehovah (יהוה) God will shed light upon them, and they will rule as kings forever and ever.
