Revelation 21:3-8
3And I heardG191 a loudG3173 voiceG5456 from the throneG2362, sayingG3004, “BeholdG2400, 1the tabernacleG4633 of GodG2316 is amongG3326 menG444, and He will 23dwellG4637 amongG3326 them, and they shall be His peopleG2992, and GodG2316 HimselfG846 will be amongG3326 them4, 4and He will 5wipeG1813 awayG1813 everyG3956 tearG1144 from their eyesG3788; and 6there will noG3756 longerG2089 be any deathG2288; 7there will noG3756 longerG2089 be any mourningG3997, orG3777 cryingG2906, orG3777 painG4192; 8the firstG4413 thingsG4413 have passedG565 awayG565.”
5And 9He who sitsG2521 on the throneG2362 saidG3004, “BeholdG2400, I am 10makingG4160 allG3956 thingsG3956 newG2537.” And He saidG3004, “WriteG1125, for 11theseG3778 wordsG3056 are faithfulG4103 and trueG228.” 6ThenG2532 He saidG3004 to me, “1213It is doneG1096. I am the 14AlphaG256 and the OmegaG5598, the beginningG746 and the endG5056. 15I will giveG1325 to the one who thirstsG1372 from the springG4077 of the 16waterG5204 of lifeG2222 withoutG1431 costG1431. 717He who overcomesG3528 will inheritG2816 theseG3778 thingsG3778, and 18I will be his GodG2316 and he will be My sonG5207. 819But for the cowardlyG1169 and 20unbelievingG571 and abominableG948 and murderersG5406 and immoralG4205 personsG4205 and sorcerersG5333 and idolatersG1496 and allG3956 liarsG5571, their partG3313 will be in 21the lakeG3041 that burnsG2545 with fireG4442 and 22brimstoneG2303, whichG3739 is the 23secondG1208 deathG2288.”
