Revelation 21:2-9

2And I sawG3708 1the holyG40 cityG4172, 2newG2537 JerusalemG2419, 3comingG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772 from GodG2316, 4preparedG2090 as a brideG3565 adornedG2885 for her husbandG435. 3And I heardG191 a loudG3173 voiceG5456 from the throneG2362, sayingG3004, “BeholdG2400, 5the tabernacleG4633 of GodG2316 is amongG3326 the peopleG444, and He will 6dwellG4637 amongG3326 them, and they shall be His 7peopleG2992, and GodG2316 HimselfG846 will be amongG3326 them8, 4and He will 9wipeG1813 awayG1813 everyG3956 tearG1144 from their eyesG3788; and 10there will noG3756 longerG2089 be any deathG2288; 11there will noG3756 longerG2089 be any mourningG3997, orG3777 cryingG2906, orG3777 painG4192; 12the firstG4413 thingsG4413 have passedG565 awayG565.”

5And 13He who sitsG2521 on the throneG2362 saidG3004, “BeholdG2400, I am 14makingG4160 allG3956 thingsG3956 newG2537.” And He saidG3004, “WriteG1125, for 15theseG3778 wordsG3056 are faithfulG4103 and trueG228.” 6ThenG2532 He saidG3004 to me, “1617It is doneG1096. I am the 18AlphaG256 and the OmegaG5598, the beginningG746 and the endG5056. 19I will giveG1325 water to the one who thirstsG1372 from the springG4077 of the 20waterG5204 of lifeG2222, withoutG1432 costG1432. 721The one who overcomesG3528 will inheritG2816 theseG3778 thingsG3778, and 22I will be his GodG2316 and he will be My sonG5207. 823But for the cowardlyG1169, and 24unbelievingG571, and abominableG948, and murderersG5406, and sexuallyG4205 immoralG4205 personsG4205, and sorcerersG5333, and idolatersG1496, and allG3956 liarsG5571, their partG3313 will be in 25the lakeG3041 that burnsG2545 with fireG4442 and 26brimstoneG2303, whichG3739 is the 27secondG1208 deathG2288.”

928ThenG2532 oneG1520 of the sevenG2033 angelsG32 who hadG2192 the 29sevenG2033 bowlsG5357, 30fullG1073 of the 31sevenG2033 lastG2078 plaguesG4127, cameG2064 and spokeG2980 with me, sayingG3004, “32ComeG1204 hereG1204, I will showG1166 you the 33brideG3565, the wifeG1135 of the LambG721.”
