Exegesis
The predicate nominative naos autēs {ναὸς αὐτῆς | naòs au-tês} ‘temple of her’ precedes estin {ἐστιν | é-stin} ‘is’, underscoring divine presence as genuine sanctuary.
In context — Revelation 21:22
And I did not see a temple in her, because the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are her temple.
