Revelation of John 21:2-9

2 And I saw ^athe holy city, ^bnew Jerusalem, ^ccoming down out of heaven from God, ^dprepared ^eas a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, ^fthe dwelling place ^{▼▼Or tabernacle} of God is with man. He will ^hdwell 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 ^kHe will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and ^ldeath shall be no more, ^mneither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

5 And ⁿhe who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I ^oam making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for ^pthese words are trustworthy and true.” 6 And he said to me, ^q“It is done! ^rI am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. ^sTo the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. 7 ^tThe one who conquers will have this heritage, and ^uI will be his God and ^vhe will be my son. 8 ^wBut as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, ^xtheir portion will be in ^ythe lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is ^zthe second death.”

The New Jerusalem

9 Then came ^aaone of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of ^abthe seven last plagues and spoke to me, saying, “Come, I will show you ^acthe Bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
