¹¹  Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them.

¹²  And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds.

¹³  And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds.

¹⁴  Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

¹⁵  And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
