Revelation 21
1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.
And I saw new heavens, and a new earth: for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away: and the sea was no more.
2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband.

3 I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Look, the tabernacle of God is with humans, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.
And I heard a great voice from heaven, which said: Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men; and he dwelleth with them: they will be his people; and God will be with them, a God to them.
4 And he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, nor will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the first things have passed away."
And every tear will be wiped from their eyes; and there will no more be death, nor mourning, nor wailing; nor shall pain be any more; because the former things are passed away.
5 He who sits on the throne said, "Look, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words are faithful and true."
And He who sat on the throne, said: Behold, I make all things new. And he said: Write; because these are the faithful and true words of God.
6 He said to me, "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life.
And he said to me: I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Completion: to him who thirsteth, will I give of the fountain of living water, gratis.
7 He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son.
He that overcometh, shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
