And there shall in no wise - On no account; by no means. This strong language denotes the absolute exclusion of all that is specified in the verse. Anything that defileth - Literally, anything “common.” See the notes on Acts 10:14. It means here that nothing will be found in that blessed abode which is unholy or sinful. It will be a pure world, 2 Peter 3:13. Neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie - See the notes on Revelation 21:8. But they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life - Whose names are there recorded. See the notes on Revelation 3:5.
