Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • A 1a And I saw a new heaven and a new earth:
    • B 1b for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
      • C 1c and there was no more sea.
        • D 2a And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven,
          • E 2b prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
            • F 3a And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them,
          • E' 3b and they shall be his people,
        • D' 3c and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
      • C' 4a And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain:
    • B' 4b for the former things are passed away.
  • A' 5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
