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, 6prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, 7the tabernacle of God is among the people, and He will 8dwell among them, and they shall be His 9people, 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.”
