Revelation 21:2-9

2Then I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, dressed like a bride ready for her husband.

3I heard a loud voice from the throne say, “God lives with humans! God will make his home with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them and be their God.

4He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There won’t be any more death. There won’t be any grief, crying, or pain, because the first things have disappeared.”

5The one sitting on the throne said, “I am making everything new.” He said, “Write this: ‘These words are faithful and true.’ ”

6He said to me, “It has happened! I am the A and the Z, the beginning and the end. I will give a drink from the fountain filled with the water of life to anyone who is thirsty. It won’t cost anything.

7Everyone who wins the victory will inherit these things. I will be their God, and they will be my children.

8But cowardly, unfaithful, and detestable people, murderers, sexual sinners, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars will find themselves in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

9One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the last seven plagues came to me and said, “Come! I will show you the bride, the wife of the lamb.”
