purgatory

¹⁰For it is necessary for us to be manifested before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive the proper things of the body, according to his behavior, whether it was good or evil.

²⁶Amen I say to you, that you shall not go forth from there, until you have repaid the last quarter.

⁹If we confess our sins, then he is faithful and just, so as to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all iniquity.

¹⁵If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer its loss, but he himself will still be saved, but only as through fire.

²⁷And in the same manner as it has been appointed for men to die one time, and after this, to be judged,

²⁷There shall not enter into it anything defiled, nor anything causing an abomination, nor anything false, but only those who have been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb.

²⁷And in the same manner as it has been appointed for men to die one time, and after this, to be judged, ²⁸so also Christ was offered, one time, in order to empty the sins of so many. He shall appear a second time without sin, for those who await him, unto salvation.

¹¹For no one is able to lay any other foundation, in place of that which has been laid, which is Christ Jesus. ¹²But if anyone builds upon this foundation, whether gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or stubble, ¹³each one’s work shall be made manifest. For the day of the Lord shall declare it, because it will be revealed by fire. And this fire will test each one’s work, as to what kind it is. ¹⁴If anyone’s work, which he has built upon it, remains, then he will receive a reward. ¹⁵If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer its loss, but he himself will still be saved, but only as through fire.

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.

¹³each one’s work shall be made manifest. For the day of the Lord shall declare it, because it will be revealed by fire. And this fire will test each one’s work, as to what kind it is.

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. ³⁷For by your words shall you be justified, and by your words shall you be condemned.”

⁴⁷And that servant, who knew the will of his Lord, and who did not prepare and did not act according to his will, will be beaten many times over.

⁶For because of this, the Gospel was also preached to the dead, so that they might be judged, certainly, just like men in the flesh, yet also, so that they might live according to God, in the Spirit.

¹I saw the new heaven and the new earth. For the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and the sea is no more. ²And I, John, saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband. ³And I heard a great voice from the throne, saying: “Behold the tabernacle of God with men. And he will dwell with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be their God with them. 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.” ⁵And the One who was sitting upon the throne, said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And he said to me, “Write, for these words are entirely faithful and true.” ⁶And he said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To those who thirst, I will give freely from the fountain of the water of life.

¹⁴Pursue peace with everyone. Pursue sanctity, without which no one shall see God.
