11 You make known to me the path of life;
in your presence there is fullness of joy;
at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
2 And many of ethose who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, fsome to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
12 His owinnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and pgather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn with qunquenchable fire.”
23 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’
46 bAnd these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
43 vAnd if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to hell,1 to the unquenchable fire.2 45 And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell. 47 And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out. It is better for you to wenter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell, 48 x‘where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’
26 And then they will see the Son of Man dcoming in clouds with great power and glory.
27 And then he will send out the angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.
61 But he remained csilent and made no answer. Again the high priest asked him, d“Are you ethe Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”
62 And Jesus said, f“I am, and you will see gthe Son of Man hseated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.”
For God So Loved the World
16 “For God so loved the world,1 wthat he gave his only xSon, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
9 And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was slifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. 10 And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in twhite robes, 11 and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was utaken up from you into heaven, will come vin the same way as you saw him go into heaven.”
God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness
18 kFor the lwrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and munrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.
12 For now we nsee in a mirror dimly, but then oface to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as pI have been fully known.
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be qmade alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his rcoming those who sbelong to Christ. 24 Then comes tthe end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying uevery rule and every authority and power.
51 Behold! I tell you a mystery. xWe shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last ytrumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and zthe dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. 53 For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and athis mortal body must put on immortality. 54 When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:
b“Death is swallowed up in victory.”
55 c“O death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting?”
56 The sting of death is sin, and dthe power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the evictory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
6 and jraised us up with him and seated us with him in the kheavenly places in Christ Jesus,
7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable lriches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
20 But bour citizenship is cin heaven, and dfrom it we eawait a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
21 who will ftransform our glowly body to be hlike his iglorious body, jby the power that enables him even to subject kall things to himself.
2 For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come hlike a thief in the night.
3 While people are isaying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
9 They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from1 the presence of the Lord and mfrom the glory of his might,
Preach the Word
1 I tcharge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, uwho is to judge the living and the dead, and by his vappearing and his kingdom:
13 ywaiting for our blessed hope, the zappearing of the glory of aour great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
Doxology
24 sNow to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you tblameless ubefore the presence of his glory with great joy,
25 to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, vbe glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time1 and now and forever. Amen.
11 Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of rmany angels, snumbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice,
t“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might
and honor and glory and blessing!”
13 And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying,
“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!”
14 And the four living creatures said, u“Amen!” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
11 And mthe smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, nday or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives othe mark of its name.”
The New Heaven and the New Earth
1 Then I saw a qnew heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2 And I saw the holy city, rnew Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a sbride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a tloud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place1 of God is with man. uHe will vdwell with them, and wthey will be his people,2 and God himself will be with them as their God.3 4 He will xwipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
5 And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, y“Write this down, for zthese words are trustworthy and true.” 6 And he said to me, “It is done! aI am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the bwater of life cwithout payment. 7 dThe one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my eson. 8 But as for fthe cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the glake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is hthe second death.”
