Revelation 21:1–8
21 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, p for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, q and the sea no longer existed. r 2 I also saw the Holy City, s new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, t prepared like a bride adorned for her husband. u
3 Then I heard a loud voice v from the throne: w x
Look! God’s dwelling y is with humanity,
and He will live with them.
They will be His people, z
and God Himself will be with them
and be their God. a
4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. b
Death will no longer exist; c
grief, crying, and pain will exist no longer, d
because the previous things e have passed away. f
5 Then the One seated on the throne said, “Look! I am making everything new.” He also said, “Write, because these words g are faithful and true.” h 6 And He said to me, “It is done! i I am the * Alpha and the Omega, j the Beginning and the End. k I will give water as a gift to the thirsty l from the spring of life. m 7 The victor n will inherit these things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son. o 8 But the cowards, unbelievers, p vile, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars q—their share will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, r which is the second death.” s
