Revelation 21:1-7

1ThenG2532 I sawG3708 1a newG2537 heavenG3772 and a newG2537 earthG1093; for 2the firstG4413 heavenG3772 and the firstG4413 earthG1093 passedG565 awayG565, and there is noG3756 longerG2089 any seaG2281. 2And I sawG3708 3the holyG40 cityG4172, 4newG2537 JerusalemG2419, 5comingG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772 from GodG2316, 6preparedG2090 as a brideG3565 adornedG2885 for her husbandG435. 3And I heardG191 a loudG3173 voiceG5456 from the throneG2362, sayingG3004, “BeholdG2400, 7the tabernacleG4633 of GodG2316 is amongG3326 the peopleG444, and He will 8dwellG4637 amongG3326 them, and they shall be His 9peopleG2992, and GodG2316 HimselfG846 will be amongG3326 them10, 4and He will 11wipeG1813 awayG1813 everyG3956 tearG1144 from their eyesG3788; and 12there will noG3756 longerG2089 be any deathG2288; 13there will noG3756 longerG2089 be any mourningG3997, orG3777 cryingG2906, orG3777 painG4192; 14the firstG4413 thingsG4413 have passedG565 awayG565.”

5And 15He who sitsG2521 on the throneG2362 saidG3004, “BeholdG2400, I am 16makingG4160 allG3956 thingsG3956 newG2537.” And He saidG3004, “WriteG1125, for 17theseG3778 wordsG3056 are faithfulG4103 and trueG228.” 6ThenG2532 He saidG3004 to me, “1819It is doneG1096. I am the 20AlphaG256 and the OmegaG5598, the beginningG746 and the endG5056. 21I will giveG1325 water to the one who thirstsG1372 from the springG4077 of the 22waterG5204 of lifeG2222, withoutG1432 costG1432. 723The one who overcomesG3528 will inheritG2816 theseG3778 thingsG3778, and 24I will be his GodG2316 and he will be My sonG5207.
