| 1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. | 1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. | 1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth, because the first heaven and earth had disappeared, and the sea was gone. | 1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more. | 1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea exists no more. | 2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. | 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. | 2 Then I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, dressed like a bride ready for her husband. | 2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband. | 2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. | 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, | 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God 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. | 3 I heard a loud voice from the throne say, "God lives with humans! God will make his home with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them and be their God. | 3 I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, "Behold, God's dwelling is with people, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. | 3 And I heard a loud voice out of the heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall tabernacle with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, their God. | 4 and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away." | 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. | 4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There won't be any more death. There won't be any grief, crying, or pain, because the first things have disappeared." | 4 He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away." | 4 And he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall not exist any more, nor grief, nor cry, nor distress shall exist any more, for the former things have passed away. | 5 And He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." And He said, "Write, for these words are faithful and true." | 5 And 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. | 5 The one sitting on the throne said, "I am making everything new." He said, "Write this: 'These words are faithful and true.'" | 5 He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words of God are faithful and true." | 5 And he that sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he says to me, Write, for these words are true and faithful. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
