Revelation 21:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 (A)And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, neither crying, neither shall there be anymore pain: for the first things are passed.
5 [a]And he that sat upon the throne, said, (B)Behold, I make all things new, and he said unto me, Write: for these things are faithful and true.
6 And he said unto me, (C)[b]It is done, I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end: I will give to him that is athirst, of the well of the water of life freely.
