Revelation 21:5

3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, ^athe tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.

4 ^aAnd God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; ^bthere shall be no more death, ^cnor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

5 Then ^aHe who sat on the throne said, ^b“Behold, I make all things new.” And He said¹ to me, “Write, for ^cthese words are true and faithful.”

6 And He said to me, ^a“It is done! ^bI am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. ^cI will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.

7 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and ^aI will be his God and he shall be My son.

8 ^aBut the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in ^bthe lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

The New Jerusalem

9 Then one of ^athe seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came¹ to me and talked with me, saying, “Come, I will show you ^bthe bride, the Lamb’s wife.”

<< Revelation 21:4

Revelation 21:6 >>

Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. No sorrow or travail of any kind shall ever enter within the walls of the city. The cry of anguish shall never be uttered, hearts shall never be broken, no tear shall ever dim the eye, and, most glorious of all, death shall be unknown. Death began his sway when man was expelled from Paradise; he ends it when the final judgment condemns Satan, death and hades to enter the lake of fire. The new Jerusalem will be painless, tearless, deathless, because it will be a sinless city. "The former things have passed away".
