Revelation 20:11-15

New International Reader's Version

The Dead Are Judged

¹¹ I saw a great white throne. And I saw God sitting on it. When the earth and sky saw his face, they ran away. There was no place for them. ¹² I saw the dead, great and small, standing in front of the throne. Books were opened. Then another book was opened. It was the book of life. The dead were judged by what they had done. The things they had done were written in the books. ¹³ The sea gave up the dead that were in it. And Death and Hell gave up their dead. Each person was judged by what they had done. ¹⁴ Then Death and Hell were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. ¹⁵ Anyone whose name was not written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
