Isaiah 11:6-9
New International Version
6 The wolf will live with the lamb,(A)
the leopard will lie down with the goat,
the calf and the lion and the yearling[a] together;
and a little child will lead them.
7 The cow will feed with the bear,
their young will lie down together,
and the lion will eat straw like the ox.(B)
8 The infant(C) will play near the cobra’s den,
and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s(D) nest.
9 They will neither harm nor destroy(E)
on all my holy mountain,(F)
for the earth(G) will be filled with the knowledge(H) of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.

New International Version
A New Heaven and a New Earth
21 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”[a](A) for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away,(B) and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City,(C) the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,(D) prepared as a bride(E) beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them.(F) They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.(G) 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes.(H) There will be no more death’[b](I) or mourning or crying or pain,(J) for the old order of things has passed away.”(K)
5 He who was seated on the throne(L) said, “I am making everything new!”(M) Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”(N)
6 He said to me: “It is done.(O) I am the Alpha and the Omega,(P) the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost(Q) from the spring of the water of life.(R) 7 Those who are victorious(S) will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.(T) 8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars(U)—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur.(V) This is the second death.”(W)

I had confidence(E) in all of you, that you would all share my joy. 4 For I wrote you(F) out of great distress and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to grieve you but to let you know the depth of my love for you.

New International Version
17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs(A)—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings(B) in order that we may also share in his glory.(C)
Present Suffering and Future Glory
18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.(D) 19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God(E) to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it,(F) in hope 21 that[a] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay(G) and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.(H)
22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning(I) as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit,(J) groan(K) inwardly as we wait eagerly(L) for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.(M) 24 For in this hope we were saved.(N) But hope that is seen is no hope at all.(O) Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.(P)
