Revelation 21:1-8 (English Standard Version)

Revelation 21

The New Heaven and the New Earth

 ¹Then I saw^(A) a new heaven and a new earth, for^(B) the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. ²And I saw^(C) the holy city,^(D) new Jerusalem,^(E) coming down out of heaven from God,^(F) prepared^(G) as a bride adorned for her husband. ³And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold,^(H) the dwelling place^[a] of God is with man. He will^(I) dwell with them, and they will be his people,^[b] and God himself will be with them as their God.^{[c] 4(J)} He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and^(K) death shall be no more,^(L) neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away."

 ⁵And^(M) he who was seated on the throne said, "Behold, I^(N) am making all things new." Also he said, "Write this down, for^(O) these words are trustworthy and true." ⁶And he said to me,^(P) "It is done!^(Q) I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.^(R) To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. ^7(S) The one who conquers will have this heritage, and^(T) I will be his God and^(U) he will be my son. ^8(V) But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars,^(W) their portion will be in^(X) the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is^(Y) the second death."
