And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,
“See, the home of God is among mortals.
He will dwell with them as their God;
they will be his peoples,
and God himself will be with them;
he will wipe every tear from their eyes.
Death will be no more;
mourning and crying and pain will be no more,
for the first things have passed away.”Let mutual love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it. I have said this to you, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you face persecution. But take courage; I have conquered the world!Next verse!With image
