Revelation 21:5-7
New English Translation
5 And the one seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new!” Then[a] he said to me, “Write it down,[b] because these words are reliable[c] and true.” 6 He also said to me, “It is done![d] I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the one who is thirsty I will give water[e] free of charge[f] from the spring of the water of life. 7 The one who conquers[g] will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be my son.
