Exegesis
The personified ho thanatos {ὁ θάνατος | ho thá-na-tos} ‘death’ is negated by ouk estai eti {οὐκ ἔσται ἔτι | ouk é-stai é-ti} ‘will no longer exist’, and the coordinated list introduced by oute {οὔτε | ou-te} ‘nor’—penthos {πένθος | pén-thos} ‘mourning’, kraugē {κραυγὴ | krau-gḗ} ‘outcry’, ponos {πόνος | pó-nos} ‘pain’—intensifies the absolute cessation of suffering.
In context — Revelation 21:4
And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; death will no longer exist, nor will there be mourning, nor outcry, nor pain, because the former things have passed away.
