21Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”^a^m for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away,ⁿ and there was no longer any sea. ²I saw the Holy City,^o the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,^p prepared as a bride^q beautifully dressed for her husband. ³And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them.^r They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.^s ⁴‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes.^t There will be no more death’^b^u or mourning or crying or pain,^v for the old order of things has passed away.”^w

⁵He who was seated on the throne^x said, “I am making everything new!”^y Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”^z

⁶He said to me: “It is done.^a I am the Alpha and the Omega,^b the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost^c from the spring of the water of life.^d ⁷Those who are victorious^e will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.^f
