B.　The foundations, the wall, and the gates of the New Jerusalem are built with precious stones and pearls (Rev. 21:18a, 19-20, 21a) signifying that the God-men regenerated, sanctified, renewed, transformed, conformed, and glorified by the Spirit are the main constituents of the city as the organic building for God’s eternal enlargement and expression.

B.　The glory of God as the light of the divine life shines over the city, and the Lamb as the lamp shines forth the glory of the divine light through the transparent city.
三　神是光，神的荣耀是在那作为灯的救赎羔羊里，透过这扩散光的新耶路撒冷整座城而照耀出来─这指明三一神在祂的彰显上，与蒙祂救赎的人是一（参约十四24）。─引用经文
