Judgment at the Throne of God

11 Then I saw a great white (A)throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose [a]presence (B)earth and heaven fled, and (C)no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, the (D)great and the small, standing before the throne, and [b](E)books were opened; and another [c]book was opened, which is (F)the book of life; and the dead (G)were judged from the things which were written in the [d]books, (H)according to their deeds. 13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and (I)Death and Hades (J)gave up the dead who were in them; and they were judged, each one of them (K)according to their deeds. 14 Then (L)Death and Hades were thrown into (M)the lake of fire. This is the (N)second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if [e]anyone’s name was not found written in (O)the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
