37 For "in a very little whilethe one who is coming will returnand will not delay;
38 but my righteous one will live by faith,and if he turns back,my soul will take no pleasure in him."
39 Now, we do not belong to those who turn back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.
31 "When the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels are with him, he will sit on his glorious throne.
32 All the nations will be assembled in front of him, and he will separate them from each other as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
33 He will put the sheep on his right but the goats on his left.
7 However, I am telling you the truth. It is for your advantage that I am going away, for if I do not go away the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
8 When he comes, he will convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment—
9 of sin, because they do not believe in me;
10 of righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see me;
11 and of judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
16 "For this is how God loved the world: He gave his unique Son so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but have eternal life.
17 For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.
18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God's unique Son.
19 And this is the basis for judgment: The light has come into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light because their actions were evil.
36 I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give an account for every thoughtlessword they utter.
37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."
16 "For this is how God loved the world: He gave his unique Son so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but have eternal life.
16 on that day when God, through Jesus Christ, will judge people's secrets according to my gospel.
27 Indeed, just as people are appointed to die once and after that to be judged,
28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people. And he will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to bring salvation to those who eagerly wait for him.
11 Then I saw a large, white throne and the one who was sitting on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and no place was found for them.
12 I saw the dead, both unimportant and important, standing in front of the throne, and books were open. Another book was opened—the Book of Life. The dead were judged according to their works, as recorded in the books.
13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and Death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and all were judged according to their works.
14 Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. (This is the second death—the lake of fire.)
15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire.
16 We have come to know and believe in the love that God has for us. God is love, and the person who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
17 This is how love has been perfected among us: we will have confidence on the day of judgment because, while we are in this world, we are just like him.
18 There is no fear where love exists. Rather, perfect love banishes fear, for fear involves punishment, and the person who lives in fear has not been perfected in love.
12 "See! I am coming soon! My reward is with me to repay everyone according to his work.
13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end."
12 "See! I am coming soon! My reward is with me to repay everyone according to his work.
10 For all of us must appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what he deserves for what he has done in his body, whether good or worthless.
31 "When the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels are with him, he will sit on his glorious throne.
32 All the nations will be assembled in front of him, and he will separate them from each other as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
33 He will put the sheep on his right but the goats on his left.
34 "Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who have been blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35 For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger, and you welcomed me.
36 I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you took care of me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’
37 "Then the righteous will say to him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and give you something to eat, or thirsty and give you something to drink?
38 When did we see you as a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you?
39 When did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’
40 The king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, in that you did it for one of the least important of these my brothers, you did it for me.’
41 "Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Get away from me, you who are accursed, into the eternal fire that has been prepared for the devil and his angels!
42 For I was hungry, and you gave me nothing to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me nothing to drink.
43 I was a stranger, and you didn't welcome me. I was naked, and you didn't clothe me. I was sick and in prison, and you didn't visit me.’
44 "Then they will reply, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or as a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and didn't help you?’
45 Then he will say to them, ‘Truly I tell you, in that you did not do it for one of the least important of these, you did not do it for me.’
46 These people will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will gointo eternal life."
31 for he has set a day when he is going to judge the world with justice through a man he has appointed, and he has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead."
6 Therefore, let us not fall asleep like others do, but let us stay awake and be sober.
7 For people who go to sleep, go to sleep at night; and people who get drunk, get drunk at night.
8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober. We must put on the breastplate of faith and love, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.
9 For God has not destined us for wrath but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
