THE NEW CREATION

21Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth;af for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away,ag and the sea was no more.ah 2I also saw the holy city,ai the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,aj prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.ak

3Then I heard a loud voiceal from the throne:Cam Look, God’s dwellingD is with humanity, and he will live with them. They will be his peoples,Ean and God himself will be with them and will be their God.F 4He will wipe away every tear from their eyes.ao Death will be no more;ap grief, crying, and pain will be no more,aq because the previous thingsG have passed away.ar

5Then the one seated on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new.” He also said, “Write, because these wordsH are faithful and true.”as 6Then he said to me, “It is done!at I am the Alpha and the Omega,au the beginning and the end.av I will freely give to the thirstyaw from the spring of the water of life.ax 7The one who conquersay will inherit these things, and I will be his God, and he will be my son.az 8But the cowards, faithless,A detestable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liarsba—their share will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur,a which is the second death.”b
