New Heavens and a New Earth

The New Heaven and the New Earth

21 Then 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.

¹³ But according to his promise we are waiting for ^(A)new heavens and a new earth ^(B)in which righteousness dwells.

^27 (A)My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. ^28 (B)I give them eternal life, and ^(C)they will never perish, and ^(D)no one will snatch them out of my hand. ²⁹ My Father, ^(E)who has given them to me,^{[a] (F)}is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of ^(G)the Father's hand.

⁴ to ^(A)an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and ^(B)unfading, ^(C)kept in heaven for you, ⁵ who by God's power are being guarded ^(D)through faith for a salvation ^(E)ready to be revealed in the last time.

²⁶ At that time ^(A)his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, ^(B)“Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” ²⁷ This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates ^(C)the removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain. ²⁸ Therefore let us be grateful for receiving ^(D)a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus ^(E)let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe,

²⁰ teaching them ^(A)to observe all that ^(B)I have commanded you. And behold, ^(C)I am with you always, to ^(D)the end of the age.”
