20

And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.

And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul"s neck, and kissed him,

And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.

I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.

I have coveted no man"s silver, or gold, or apparel.

And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.

And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.

But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
