²¹ The twelve gates^(A) were twelve pearls,^(B) each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass.^(C)

²² I did not see a temple^(D) in the city, because the Lord God Almighty^(E) and the Lamb^(F) are its temple. ²³ The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God^(G) gives it light,^(H) and the Lamb^(I) is its lamp.
