Revelation 21:3-5
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying “Behold— the dwelling[a] of God is with mankind. And He will dwell with them. And they themselves will be His peoples[b]. And God Himself with them will be their God. 4 And He will wipe-away every tear from their eyes[c]. And there will no longer be death, nor will there be mourning nor crying nor pain any longer, because the first things passed away”. 5 And the One sitting on the throne said, “Behold— I am making all things new”. And he[d] says, “Write, because these words are trustworthy[e] and true”.
