22But I saw no temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.23And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, because the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its lamp. 24By its light the nations will walk, and into it the kings of the earth will bring their glory.
