^23 (A)For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

²⁶ For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.

²⁷ And just as ^(A)it is appointed for man to die once, and ^(B)after that comes judgment,

By Grace Through Faith

2 ^(A)And you were ^(B)dead in the trespasses and sins

¹⁶ And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, ¹⁷ but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil ^(A)you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat^[a] of it you ^(B)shall surely die.”

Judgment Before the Great White Throne

¹¹ Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence ^(A)earth and sky fled away, and ^(B)no place was found for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and ^(C)books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is ^(D)the book of life. And ^(E)the dead were judged by what was written in the books, ^(F)according to what they had done. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, ^(G)Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, ^(H)according to what they had done. ¹⁴ Then ^(I)Death and Hades ^(J)were thrown into the lake of fire. This is ^(K)the second death, the lake of fire. ¹⁵ And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, ^(L)he was thrown into the lake of fire.

^8 (A)But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, ^(B)their portion will be in ^(C)the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is ^(D)the second death.”

²³ and in ^(A)Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and ^(B)saw Abraham far off and Lazarus ^(C)at his side.
