Revelation 21:1-4

1Then I saw 1a new heaven and a new earth; for 2the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. 2And I saw 3the holy city, 4new Jerusalem, 5coming down out of heaven from God, 6made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, 7the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will 8 9dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them10, 4and He will 11wipe away every tear from their eyes; and 12there will no longer be any death; 13there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; 14the first things have passed away.”
