Revelation of John 21:1-8

The New Heaven and the New Earth

1Then I saw aa new heaven and a new earth, for bthe first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2And I saw cthe holy city, dnew Jerusalem, ecoming down out of heaven from God, fprepared gas a bride adorned for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, hthe dwelling place
Or tabernacle
of God is with man. He will jdwell with them, and they will be his people,
Some manuscripts peoples
and God himself will be with them as their God.
Some manuscripts omit  as their God
4 mHe will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and ndeath shall be no more, oneither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

5And phe who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I qam making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for rthese words are trustworthy and true.” 6And he said to me, s“It is done! tI am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. uTo the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. 7 vThe one who conquers will have this heritage, and wI will be his God and xhe will be my son. 8 yBut as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, ztheir portion will be in aathe lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is abthe second death.”
