## Revelation 21:23-27 in Context (Verses 20–27 KJV)
 
 [20 ](/kjv/revelation/21/20) 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 ](/kjv/revelation/21/21) And the twelve gates *were* twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city *was* pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/revelation/21/22) And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/revelation/21/23) And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb *is* the light thereof.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/revelation/21/24) And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/revelation/21/25) And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/revelation/21/26) And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/revelation/21/27) And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither *whatsoever* worketh abomination, or *maketh* a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
