and he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more; neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more: the first things are passed away.
5 And He who is sitting on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new”; and He says to me, “Write, because these words are true and steadfast”;

He that overcometh shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8 But to fearful, and unsteadfast, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the liars, their part [is] in the lake that is burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)
But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part [shall be] in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death. (Limnē Pyr g3041 g4442)

22 And I did not see a temple in it, for the LORD God, the Almighty, and the Lamb, are its temple.

And the nations shall walk amidst the light thereof: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory into it.
25 and its gates will never be shut by day, for night will not be there;
And the gates thereof shall in no wise be shut by day (for there shall be no night there):
26 and they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it;
