36But I say to you, that for every idle word which men will have spoken, they shall render an account in the day of judgment.
11And I saw a great white throne, and One sitting upon it, from whose sight earth and heaven fled, and no place was found for them. 12And I saw the dead, great and small, standing in view of the throne. And books were opened. And another Book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged by those things that had been written in the books, according to their works. 13And the sea gave up the dead who were in it. And death and Hell gave up their dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14And Hell and death were cast into the pool of fire. This is the second death. 15And whoever was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the pool of fire.
27And in the same manner as it has been appointed for men to die one time, and after this, to be judged,

48Whoever despises me and does not accept my words has one who judges him. The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him on the last day.
1And I saw an Angel, descending from heaven, holding in his hand the key of the abyss and a great chain. 2And he apprehended the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and he bound him for a thousand years. 3And he cast him into the abyss, and he closed and sealed it, so that he would no longer seduce the nations, until the thousand years are completed. And after these things, he must be released for a brief time. 4And I saw thrones. And they sat upon them. And judgment was given to them. And the souls of those beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus and because of the Word of God, and who did not adore the beast, nor his image, nor accept his character on their foreheads or on their hands: they lived and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5The rest of the dead did not live, until the thousand years are completed. This is the First Resurrection. 6Blessed and holy is he who takes part in the First Resurrection. Over these the second death has no power. But they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and they shall reign with him for a thousand years.
36But concerning that day and hour, no one knows, not even the Angels of the heavens, but only the Father.
4And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. And death shall be no more. And neither mourning, nor crying out, nor grief shall be anymore. For the first things have passed away.”
