I know your works, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that your works are now more than at the first.

And I heard the angel of the waters say, "Righteous are you, who are and who were, O Holy One, because you judged these things;

for his judgments are true and just; he has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he has avenged on her the blood of his servants."

And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Also another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done.

The sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them, and all were judged according to what they had done.

And the nations raged, and your wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, for rewarding your servants the prophets and the saints and those who fear your name, both small and great, and for destroying those who destroy the earth."
