I saw

Then I saw a great white throne and Him who was seated on it, from whose presence earth and sky fled away, no more to be found.

Stop being surprised at this, for the time is coming when all that are in the graves will listen to His voice,

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life myself. Whoever continues to believe in me will live right on even though he dies,

and I have the same hope in God that they cherish for themselves, that there is to be a resurrection of the upright and the wicked.

For since it was through a man that death resulted, it was also through a man that the resurrection of the dead resulted.

For on the Lord's own authority we say that those of us who may be left behind and are still living when the Lord comes back, will have no advantage at all over those who have fallen asleep.

Small

And there came a voice from the throne, saying, "Praise our God, all you slaves of His who fear Him, great and small."

Stand

Then why should you criticize your brother? Or, why should you look down on your brother? Surely, we shall all stand before God to be judged,

So you must stop forming any premature judgments, but wait until the Lord shall come again, for He will bring to light the secrets hidden in the dark and will make known the motives of men's hearts, and the proper praise will be awarded each of us.

For we must all appear before the judgment-bar of Christ, that each may get his pay for what he has done, whether it be good or bad.

And another

Whoever conquers will be clothed this way -- in white clothes -- and I will never blot his name out of the book of life, but I will own him as mine in the presence of my Father and His angels.

All the inhabitants of the earth whose names, from the foundation of the world, have not been written in the slaughtered Lamb's book of life, will worship him.

The wild beast that you saw, once was but now is no more; he is going to come up out of the abyss, but he is going to be destroyed. The inhabitants of the earth, whose names from the foundation of the world have not been written in the book of life, will be astonished when they see that the wild beast once was but now is no more, and yet is to come.

Nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who practices abominable living and lying, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.

However, you must stop rejoicing over the fact that the spirits are submitting to you, but continue to rejoice that your names are enrolled in heaven."

And I solemnly beg you, my true comrade, keep on cooperating with those two women, because they shared with me the struggle in spreading the good news, together with Clement and the rest of my fellow-workers, whose names are in the book of life.

General references

There is nothing covered up that will not be uncovered, nor secret that will not be made known;

For the Father passes sentence on no one, but He has committed all judgment to the Son,

For when He finally judges, He will pay everyone with exactness for what he has done,

For everyone must carry his own load.
