Christ or Judgment

For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries.

For judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.

The Tongue Is a Fire

Do not become teachers in large numbers, my brothers, since you know that we who are teachers will incur a stricter judgment.

But above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath; but your yes is to be yes, and your no, no, so that you do not fall under judgment.

The end of all things is near; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer.

For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?

and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, held for judgment;

then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from a trial, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,

whereas angels who are greater in might and power do not bring a demeaning judgment against them before the Lord.

But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly people.

By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, we also are in this world.

And angels who did not keep their own domain but abandoned their proper dwelling place, these He has kept in eternal restraints under darkness for the judgment of the great day,

But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him an abusive judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”

to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”

and he said with a loud voice, “Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come; worship Him who made the heaven and the earth, and sea and springs of waters.”

And I heard the altar saying, “Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments.”

The Doom of Babylon

Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters,

standing at a distance because of the fear of her torment, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For in one hour your judgment has come.’

Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced judgment for you against her.”

because His judgments are true and righteous; for He has judged the great prostitute who was corrupting the earth with her sexual immorality, and He has avenged the blood of His bond-servants on her.”

Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their foreheads and on their hands; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

Judgment at the Throne of God

Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled, and no place was found for them.
