And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as worshipped not the beast, neither his image, and received not the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand; and they lived, and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and shewed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,

having the glory of God: her light was like unto a stone most precious, as it were a jasper stone, clear as crystal:

And he shewed me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,

And there shall be no curse any more: and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be therein: and his servants shall do him service;
