And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and did not receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand, and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

And he showed me the river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming out from the throne of God and of the Lamb

And there will not be any curse any longer, and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his slaves will serve him,

And night will not exist any longer, and they will not have need of the light of a lamp and the light of the sun, because the Lord God will give light to them, and they will reign forever and ever.
