Also another book was opened, the book of life. And the dead were judged according to their works, as recorded in the books.(B) 13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and all were judged according to what they had done.(C) 14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire,(D) 15 and anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
