Revelation 21:2-5

2And I saw 1the holy city, 2new Jerusalem, 3coming down out of heaven from God, 4made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, 5the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will 6 7dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them8, 4and He will 9wipe away every tear from their eyes; and 10there will no longer be any death; 11there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; 12the first things have passed away.”

5And 13He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am 14making all things new.” And He said, “Write, for 15these words are faithful and true.”
