Revelation 20:11-13

Contemporary English Version

The Judgment at the Great White Throne

^11 (A) I saw a great white throne with someone sitting on it. Earth and heaven tried to run away, but there was no place for them to go. ^12 (B) I also saw all the dead people standing in front of that throne. Every one of them was there, no matter who they had once been. Several books were opened, and then the book of life^[a] was opened. The dead were judged by what those books said they had done.

¹³ The sea gave up the dead people who were in it, and death and its kingdom also gave up their dead. Then everyone was judged by what they had done.
