2 Thessalonians 1:6-10
New English Translation

6 For it is right[a] for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you, 7 and to you who are being afflicted to give rest together with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed[b] from heaven with his mighty angels.[c] 8 With flaming fire he will mete out[d] punishment on those who do not know God[e] and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9 They[f] will undergo the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his strength,[g] 10 when he comes to be glorified among his saints and admired[h] on that day among all who have believed—and you did in fact believe our testimony.[i]

Revelation 20:11-15
New English Translation

The Great White Throne

11 Then[a] I saw a large[b] white throne and the one who was seated on it; the earth and the heaven[c] fled[d] from his presence, and no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne. Then[e] books were opened, and another book was opened—the book of life.[f] So[g] the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to their deeds.[h] 13 The[i] sea gave up the dead that were in it, and Death[j] and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each one was judged according to his deeds. 14 Then[k] Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death—the lake of fire. 15 If[l] anyone’s name[m] was not found written in the book of life, that person[n] was thrown into the lake of fire.
