21:25a–b

Its gates will never be shut at the end of the day, because there will be no night there: Here the Greek word that the Berean Standard Bible translates as day refers to the hours of daylight. There will be no night, so the gates of the city wall will always be open. Other ways to translate these words are:

In the daytime (for there will be no night there) its gates will never be closed (New American Standard Bible)
-or-
The gates of the city will stand open all day; they will never be closed, because there will be no night there (Good News Translation)

21:25b

because: This conjunction introduces the reason or explanation for the gates never being shut.
