Revelation of John 21:1

1 Then ^{▼▼ Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.} I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had ceased to exist, ^{▼▼ For the translation of ἀπέρχομαι (apercomai; here ἀπῆλθαν [apēlqan]) L&N 13.93 has “to go out of existence - ‘to cease to exist, to pass away, to cease.’”} and the sea existed no more.
