God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.

6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life.
