⁵ And the One sitting on the throne said, “Behold— I am making all things new”. And he^[a] says, “Write, because these words are trustworthy^[b] and true”. ⁶ And He said to me, “They^[c] are done^[d]. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the one thirsting, I will give from the spring of the water of life as-a-gift^[e]. ⁷ The one overcoming will inherit these things, and I will be God to him and he will be a son to Me. ⁸ But for the cowardly^[f] ones, and unbelieving^[g] ones, and ones having been abominable^[h], and murderers, and sexually-immoral ones, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the liars— their part^[i] will be in the lake burning with fire and sulphur, which is the second death”.

The Home of The Bride of The Lamb: The New Jerusalem

⁹ And one of the seven angels^[j] having the seven bowls being-full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me, saying “Come, I will show you the bride^[k], the wife of the Lamb”. ¹⁰ And he carried me away in the Spirit^[l] to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, ¹¹ having the glory of God, the brilliance of it resembling a very-precious stone like a jasper stone, shining-like-crystal^[m]; ¹² having a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names having been inscribed— which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel. ¹³ Three gates from the east, and three gates from the north, and three gates from the south, and three gates from the west. ¹⁴ And the wall of the city has twelve foundations, and on them are the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
