Revelation 21:3-5
Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne,
'Look, here God lives among human beings. He will make his home among them;
they will be his people, and he will be their God, God-with-them.
4 He will wipe away all tears from their eyes;
there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain.
The world of the past has gone.'
5 Then the One sitting on the throne spoke.
'Look, I am making the whole of creation new. Write this,
"What I am saying is trustworthy and will come true."
