Revelation 21:1-8
The New Heaven and the New Earth
Then I saw aa new heaven and a new earth, for bthe first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2 And I saw athe holy city, bnew Jerusalem, ccoming down out of heaven from God, dprepared eas a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, athe dwelling place of God is with man. He will bdwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. 4 aHe will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and bdeath shall be no more, cneither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
5 And ahe who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I bam making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for cthese words are trustworthy and true.” 6 And he said to me, a“It is done! bI am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. cTo the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. 7 aThe one who conquers will have this heritage, and bI will be his God and che will be my son. 8 aBut as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, btheir portion will be in cthe lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is dthe second death.”
