Cowards?

I've always wondered what does the Bible mean by cowards in Revelation 21:8. Since those words will apply to those who will be living in the new world during the Millennium and beyond, how will someone be able to show that? Thank you.

It is not talking about people in the new world. It lists cowards along with sexually immoral people, liars, murderers, etc. The new world will not be characterized by any of those evils.
OK. I thought it was referring to the people that will do evil in the new world. Those who will receive the second death during the 1000 years and/or will not pass the final test after the 1000 years.
But I still wonder what does coward mean there? Those who don't or will not obey God for fear or something like that?

If you're called to the carpet by the 8th king and asked "What's this I hear about you worshiping Jehovah? I am your god and you will worship me". What will you say? Will you be a coward and cave to his pressure or will you stand up to him, tell him to get stuffed, and possibly die?

That's why cowards are mentioned in Revelation. Fear Jehovah...or fear man.
