Revelation 21:2-9

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 67dwell 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.” 6Then He said to me, “1617It is done. I am the 18Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. 19I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the 20water of life without cost. 721He who overcomes will inherit these things, and 22I will be his God and he will be My son. 823But for the cowardly and 24unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in 25the lake that burns with fire and 26brimstone, which is the 27second death.”

928Then one of the seven angels who had the 29seven bowls 30full of the 31seven last plagues came and spoke with me, saying, “32Come here, I will show you the 33bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
