3 And I heard a ^tloud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place¹ of God is with man. ^uHe will ^vdwell with them, and ^wthey will be his people,² and God himself will be with them as their God.³ 4 He will ^xwipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
