‏ Revelation of John 21:4

 Shall wipe away every tear from their eyes ( εξαλειψε παν δακρυον εκ των οφθαλμων αυτων ). More exactly, "shall wipe out every tear out of their eyes" (repetition of  εξ ) like a tender mother as in 7:17 (Isa 25:8). There is no more that ought to cause a tear, for death ( θανατος ) is no more, mourning ( πενθος ), associated with death and crying ( κραυγη, wailing), and pain ( πονος as in 16:10) are all gone. There is peace and bliss.
