Revelation 21: 1-8

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had passed away, and the sea was no longer there.

Also I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.

I heard a loud voice from the throne say, “See! God’s home is with mankind, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and he himself, God-with-them, will be their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes.  There will no longer be any death; and there will no longer be any mourning, crying or pain; because the old order has passed away.”

Then the One sitting on the throne said, “Look! I am making everything new!”

Also he said, “Write, ‘These words are true and trustworthy!’”

And he said to me, “It is done! I am the ‘A’ and the ‘Z,’ the Beginning and the End.

To anyone who is thirsty I myself will give water free of charge from the Fountain of Life.

He who wins the victory will receive these things, and I will be his God, and he will be my son.

But as for the cowardly, the untrustworthy, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those involved with the occult and with drugs, idol-worshipers, and all liars — their destiny is the lake burning with fire and sulfur, the second death.”
