God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”5 Then ?He who sat on the throne said, ?“Behold, I make all things new.” And He said ?to me, “Write, for ?these words are true and faithful.”6 And He said to me, ?“It ?is done! ?I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. ?I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. 7 He who overcomes ?shall inherit all things, and ?I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8 ?But the cowardly, ?unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in ?the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. 4 They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. 5 There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.”
