21Now ^aI saw a new heaven and a new earth, ^bfor the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. ²Then I, ¹John, saw ^cthe holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared ^das a bride adorned for her husband. ³And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, ^ethe tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. ⁴^fAnd God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; ^gthere shall be no more death, ^hnor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

⁵Then ⁱHe who sat on the throne said, ^j“Behold, I make all things new.” And He said ²to me, “Write, for ^kthese words are true and faithful.”

⁶And He said to me, ^l“It ³is done! ^mI am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. ⁿI will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. ⁷He who overcomes ⁴shall inherit all things, and ^oI will be his God and he shall be My son. ⁸^pBut the cowardly, ⁵unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in ^qthe lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

Read in Logos

Revelation 21:4: “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
