Revelation 21

The New Heaven, New Earth, and New Jerusalem

1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea did not exist any longer. 2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,

"Behold, the dwelling of God is with humanity,

and he will take up residence with them,

and they will be his people

and God himself will be with them.*Some manuscripts have "with them as their God"

4 And he will wipe away every tear from their eyes,

and death will not exist any longer,

and*Literally "or" mourning or wailing or pain will not exist any longer.

The former things*Some manuscripts have "any longer, because the former things" have passed away."
