Other Translations - Revelation
21:3-10:
I heard a loud voice from the throne. The voice said, "Now God's home is with
people. He will live with them. They will be his people. God himself will be
with them and will be their God.
4God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death,
sadness, crying, or pain. All the old ways are gone."
5The One that was sitting on the throne said, "Look! I am making everything
new!" Then he said, "Write this, because these words are true and can be
trusted."
6The One on the throne said to me: "It is finished! I am the Alpha and the
Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give free water from the spring of the
water of life to any person that is thirsty.
7Any person that wins the victory will receive all this. And I will be his God,
and he will be my son.
8But the people who are cowards, people who refuse to believe, people who do
terrible things, people who kill, people who sin sexually, people who do evil
magic, people who worship idols, and people who tell lies--all those people will
have a place in the lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."
9One of the seven angels came to me. This was one of the angels who had the
seven bowls full of the seven last troubles. The angel said, "Come with me. I
will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb."
10The angel carried me away by the Spirit to a very large and high mountain.
The angel showed me the holy city, Jerusalem. The city was coming down out of
heaven from God. (ERV)
And I heard a great voice out of the throne saying, Behold, the tabernacle of
God is with men, and he shall dwell with them, and they shall be his peoples,
and God himself shall be with them, (and be) their God:
4and he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more;
neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more: the first
things are passed away.
5And he that sitteth on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he
saith, Write: for these words are faithful and true.
6And he said unto me, They are come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the
beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of
the water of life freely.
7He that overcometh shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he
shall be my son.
8But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and
fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part (shall be)
in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.
9And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were laden
with the seven last plagues; and he spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will
show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb.
10And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed
me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, (ASV)

is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God
himself shall be with them, and be their God.

death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the
former things are passed away.
5And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he
said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the
end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life
freely.
7He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he
shall be my son.
8But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and
whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part
in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
