Jesus Testifies to the Churches

¹² “And behold, I am coming quickly, and ^(A)My reward is with Me, ^(B)to give to every one according to his work.

¹² And I saw the dead, ^(A)small and great, standing before ^[a]God, ^(B)and books were opened. And another ^(C)book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged ^(D)according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. ¹³ The sea gave up the dead who were in it, ^(E)and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. ^(F)And they were judged, each one according to his works. ¹⁴ Then ^(G)Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. ^(H)This is the second ^[b]death. ¹⁵ And anyone not found written in the Book of Life ^(I)was cast into the lake of fire.

^10 (A)For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, ^(B)that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

^30 (B)“Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways,” says the Lord God. ^(C)“Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your ruin.
