Revelation 21:23

---

← Revelation 21:22	Revelation 21:23 (KJV)	Revelation 21:24 →
And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.	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.	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.
