the
beginning and the end. I will give to him that thirsts of the fountain
of the water of life freely. [21:7]He that conquers shall inherit these
things, and I will be to him a God and he shall be to me a son.
[21:8]But the fearful and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and
fornicators and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars shall have their

death.

4 [21:9]And one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the
last seven plagues came, and spoke with me, saying, Come, I will show
you the wife, the bride of the Lamb. [21:10]And he bore me away in the
Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the city, the holy
Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, [21:11]having the glory
