Revelation 21:1–8

The New Heaven and Earth

¹Then I saw ^aa new heaven and a new earth; for ^bthe first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea.

²And I saw ^athe holy city, ^bnew Jerusalem, ^ccoming down out of heaven from God, ^dmade ready as a bride adorned for her husband.

³And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, ^athe tabernacle of God is among men, and He will ^1bdwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among ²them,

⁴and He will ^awipe away every tear from their eyes; and ^bthere will no longer be any death; ^cthere will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain. ^dThe first things passed away.”

⁵And ^aHe who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am ^bmaking all things new.” And He ^*said, “Write, for ^cthese words are faithful and true.”

⁶Then He said to me, “^aThey are done. I am the ^bAlpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. ^cI will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the ^dwater of life without cost.

⁷“^aHe who overcomes will inherit these things, and ^bI will be his God and he will be My son.

⁸“^aBut for the cowardly and ¹unbelieving and abominable and murderers and sexually immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in ^bthe lake that burns with fire and ²brimstone, which is the ^csecond death.”
