And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying, Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be his people, and God himself, even their God, will be with them.

And He said to me, It is done. I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end: I will give to him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that ouercommeth, shall inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my sonne.
He that overcometh shall inherit all things, and I will be a God to him, and he shall be to me a son.
