Revelation 21:6
Compare all
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.”

Revelation 21:6

They are come to pass (Gegonan). Second perfect active indicative of ginomai with -an for -asi. See Revelation 16:17 for a like use of gegonen, "They have come to pass." Here again it is the voice of God because, as in Revelation 1:8, He says:

I am the Alpha and the Omega (Egw to Alfa kai to O) with the addition "the beginning and the end" (h arxh kai to telov), the whole used in Revelation 22:13 of Christ. In Isaiah 44:6 there is something like the addition, and in Colossians 1:18; Revelation 3:14 h arxh is applied to Christ, while here God is the First Cause (arxh) and the Finality (telov) as in Romans 11:36; Ephesians 4:6. But God works through Christ (John 1:3; Hebrews 1:2 f.; Colossians 1:12-20). God is the bountiful Giver (James 1:5, James 1:17) of the Water of Life. See Revelation 7:17; Revelation 22:1, Revelation 22:17 for this metaphor, which is based on Isaiah 55:1. It is God's own promise (Egw dwsw), "I will give."

Of the fountain (ek thv phghv). For this partitive use of ek see Matthew 25:8, without ek Revelation 2:17.

Freely (dwrean). See Matthew 10:8; John 4:10; Romans 3:24; Acts 8:20; Revelation 22:17.
