Revelation 21:23 in Context — Revelation 21

21 E as doze portas eram doze pérolas; cada uma das portas era de uma pérola; e a praça da cidade [era] de ouro puro, como vidro transparente.

22 E nela eu não vi templo, porque o templo dela é o Senhor Deus Todo-Poderoso, e o Cordeiro.

23 E a cidade não necessita de sol nem de lua para que brilhem nela; porque a glória de Deus a ilumina, e sua lâmpada [é] o Cordeiro.

24 E as nações dos salvos andarão na luz dela; e os reis da terra trarão a ela a glória e honra deles.

25 E suas portas não se fecharão de dia; porque ali não haverá noite.
