Set free from the control of Sin, you became servants to Righteousness.read more.
I can but speak as men do because of the weakness of your earthly nature. Once you offered every part of your bodies to the service of impurity, and of wickedness, which leads to further wickedness.

And these last will go away 'into aeonian punishment,' but the righteous 'into aeonian life.'"

Well aware of God's decree, that those who do such things deserve to die, not only are they guilty of them themselves, but they even applaud those who do them.

Blessed and holy will he be who shares in that First Resurrection. The second Death has no power over them; but they will be priests of God, and the Christ, and they will reign with him for the thousand years.

The sea gave up its dead, and Death and the Lord of the Place of Death gave up their dead; and they were judged, one by one, each according to his actions. Then Death and the Lord of the Place of Death were hurled into the lake of fire. This is the Second Death--the lake of fire;
