Lift up your eyes all around, and see: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live,” says Yahweh, “you shall surely clothe yourself with them all as with an ornament, and dress yourself with them, like a bride.

I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.

Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.

I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away.”

I put on righteousness, and it clothed me. My justice was as a robe and a diadem.

For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Yahweh upholds the righteous.

Let your priests be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!”

But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

It was given to her that she would array herself in bright, pure, fine linen: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

Yahweh is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.

Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

Your oils have a pleasing fragrance. Your name is oil poured out, therefore the virgins love you.

He has swallowed up death forever! The Lord Yahweh will wipe away tears from off all faces. He will take the reproach of his people away from off all the earth, for Yahweh has spoken it.

No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is of me,” says Yahweh.

Instead of the thorn the cypress tree will come up; and instead of the brier the myrtle tree will come up. It will make a name for Yahweh, for an everlasting sign that will not be cut off.”

May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.

Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory,

Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, “Rejoice!”

but if I wait long, that you may know how men ought to behave themselves in God’s house, which is the assembly of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

Now to him who is able to keep them from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy,

He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will go out from there no more. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my own new name.

He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne.

If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also.
