Indeed I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on Judgment Day than for you!

Indeed I tell you, it will be more bearable for the land of Sodom on Judgment Day than for you!"

I tell you, on Judgment Day people will give an account for every thoughtless word they have uttered,

But because of your stubborn and unrepentant heart you are reserving wrath for yourself on the day of wrath, when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.

the workmanship of each person will become evident, for the day of judgment will show what it is, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person's action.

then the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials and to hold unrighteous people for punishment on the day of judgment,

This is how love has been perfected among us: we will have confidence on the day of judgment because, during our time in this world, we are just like him.

He has also held in eternal chains those angels who did not keep their own position but abandoned their assigned place. They are held in deepest darkness for judgment on the great day.

I tell all of you with certainty, it will be more bearable for the region of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town!"

So when you, a mere man, pass judgment on those who practice these things and then do them yourself, do you think you will escape God's judgment?
