And he said: Write; because these are the faithful and true words of God. ⁶ And he said to me: I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Completion: to him who thirsteth, will I give of the fountain of living water, gratis. ⁷ He that overcometh, shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. ⁸ But to the timid, and the unbelieving, and to the sinful, and polluted, and to manslayers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and to all false persons, their portion shall be in the lake that burneth with fire and sulphur, which is the second death. ⁹ And there came one of those seven angels, who have the seven cups filled with the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying: Come, I will show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb. ¹⁰ And he bore me away in the spirit, to a mountain great and high, and he showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God; ¹¹ in which was the glory of God, as a brilliant light, and resembling a very precious gem; like a jasper stone, resembling crystal. ¹² And it had a wall great and lofty, which had twelve gates, and names inscribed on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel. ¹³ On the east, three gates; on the north, three gates; on the south, three gates; and on the west, three gates. ¹⁴ And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and upon them the twelve names of the twelve legates of the Lamb. ¹⁵ And he that talked with me, had a measure, a golden reed; so that he could measure the city, and its gates, and its wall. ¹⁶ And the city stood up four square; and its length was the same as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed, to twelve furlongs of twelve thousand; and the length and the breadth and the height of it were all equal. ¹⁷ And he measured its wall, a hundred and forty and four measures of the cubits of a man, that is, of the angel. ¹⁸ And the structure of its wall was of jasper; and the city was of pure gold, like pure glass. ¹⁹ And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every precious stone. The first foundation, a jasper; the second, a sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; ²⁰ the fifth, a sardonyx; the sixth, a sardius; the seventh, a chrysolite; the eighth, a beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. ²¹ And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each pearl one gate, and each gate one pearl: and the broad street of the city was pure gold, like brilliant glass. ²² And I saw no temple in it; for the Lord Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb. ²³ And the city hath no need of the sun or of the moon, to enlighten it; for the glory of God enlighteneth it, and the Lamb is the lamps of it. ²⁴ And the nations that were saved, shall walk by means of its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory and the wealth of the nations into it. ²⁵ And its gates shall not be shut by day; for there is no night there. ²⁶ And they will bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. ²⁷ And there shall not enter it, any thing polluted, or that practiseth impurity and falsehood; but they who are registered in the Lamb's book of life.

²¹ Wherefore, let no one glory in men: for all things are yours; ²² whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all things are yours: ²³ and ye are Messiah's, and Messiah is God's.

¹ And ye see, how great is the love of the Father towards us, who hath called us sons, and made us such.

⁴ And to you, my friends, I say: Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and afterwards have nothing more they can do. ⁵ But I will show you, of whom to be afraid: of him who, after he hath killed, hath authority to cast into hell. Yea, say I to you: be afraid of him. ⁶ Are not five sparrows sold for two assarii? and not one of them is forgotten before God. ⁷ And as for you, the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

⁴⁴ Ye are of your father, the calumniator; and the lust of your father ye are disposed to do. He was from the beginning a manslayer, and abode not in the truth; for the truth is not in him, and when he speaketh a lie he speaketh from himself, for he is a liar, and the father of it.

⁹ Or do ye not know, that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not mistake; neither whoremongers, nor idol-worshippers, nor adulterers, nor debauchers, nor liers with males, ¹⁰ nor the avaricious, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, will inherit the kingdom of God.

²⁰ But that what the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. And I would not, that ye should be associates of demons. ²¹ Ye cannot drink the cup of our Lord, and the cup of demons; and ye cannot be partakers at the table of our Lord, and at the table of demons.

¹⁹ For the works of the flesh are known, which are whoredom, impurity, lasciviousness, ²⁰ idol-worship, magic, malice, contention, rivalry, wrath, strife, divisions, discords, ²¹ envy, murder, drunkenness, revelling, and all the like things. And they who perpetrate these things, as I have before told you, and also now tell you, do not inherit the kingdom of God.

⁵ For this know ye, that every man who is a whoremonger, or impure, or avaricious, or a worshipper of idols, hath no inheritance in the kingdom of the Messiah and of God. ⁶ Let no man deceive you with vain words; for it is on account of these things that the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience.

⁹ For the coming of that evil One, is the working of Satan, with all power, and signs, and lying wonders,

⁹ he knowing that the law was not established for the righteous, but for the evil, and the rebellious, and the ungodly, and the sinful, and the perverse and for the impure, and for smiters of their fathers and smiters of their mothers, and for murderers, ¹⁰ and for whoremongers, and for copulators with males, and for the stealers of free people, and for liars, and for violators of oaths, and for whatever is contrary to sound doctrine,

² These will seduce, by a false appearance; and will utter a lie, and will be seared in their conscience;

²⁴ and to Jesus, the Mediator of the new covenant; and to the sprinkling, of his blood, which speaketh better than that of Abel.

⁴ Marriage is honorable in all; and their bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers, God will judge.

¹⁴ But if it should occur, that ye suffer on account of righteousness, happy are ye. And be not terrified, by those who would terrify you, nor be agitated: ¹⁵ but sanctify the Lord the Messiah, in your hearts. And be ye ready for a vindication, before every one who demandeth of you an account of the hope of your faith,

²² Who is false, but he that denieth that Jesus is the Messiah? And that person is a false Messiah. He that denieth the Father, denieth also the Son.

¹⁵ For every one that hateth his brother, is a man-slayer; and ye know, that no man-slayer can have eternal life abiding in him.

¹⁰ Whoever believeth in the Son of God, hath this testimony in himself. And whoever believeth not God, hath made him a liar, by not believing the testimony which God hath testified concerning his Son.

² I know thy works, and thy toil, and thy patience, and that thou canst not endure the wicked; and thou hast tried them who say they are legates, and are not; and thou hast found them liars.

²¹ And they repented not of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their whoredom, nor of their thefts.

²⁰ And the beast of prey was captured, and the false prophet that was with him, who did those prodigies before him, whereby he seduced them who had received the mark of the beast of prey and who worshipped his image. And they were both cast alive into the lake of fire, which burneth with sulphur.

¹⁴ And death and the grave were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, namely, this lake of fire. ¹⁵ And if any one was not found enrolled in the book of life, he was cast into this lake of fire.

¹⁵ Without will be dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and manslayers, and idolaters, and every one that loveth and doeth falsehood.

¹ And I saw another prodigy in heaven, great and wonderful; seven angels, having seven plagues, the last in order, because with them the wrath of God is consummated. ² And I saw as it were, a sea of glass mixed with fire: and they, who had been victorious over the beast of prey, and over its image, and over the number of its name, were standing on the sea of glass; and they had the harps of God. ³ And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: Great and marvellous are thy deeds, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, O King of worlds. ⁴ Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? Because thou only art holy and just: Because all nations shall come and worship before thee, since thy righteousnesses have been revealed. ⁵ And after this I beheld, and the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven, was opened. ⁶ And the seven angels who had the seven plagues, went forth from the temple, clothed in clean splendid linen, and girded about their breast with girdles of gold. ⁷ And one of the four Animals gave to those seven angels seven cups of gold, full of the wrath of God who liveth for ever and ever.

¹ And I heard a voice, which said to the seven angels: Go forth, and pour those seven cups of the wrath of God upon the earth. ² And the first went, and poured his cup upon the earth; and there was a malignant and painful ulcer upon those men who had the mark of the beast of prey, and who worshipped its image. ³ And the second angel poured his cup upon the sea; and it became blood, like that of a dead person; and every living soul of things in the sea, died. ⁴ And the third angel poured his cup upon the rivers and the fountains of water; and they became blood. ⁵ And I heard the angel of the waters say: Righteous art thou, who art and who wast, and art holy; because thou hast done this judgment. ⁶ For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets; and thou hast given them blood to drink, for they deserve it. ⁷ And I heard one from the altar say: Yes, Lord God Almighty: true and righteous is thy judgment. ⁸ And the fourth poured his cup upon the sun: and it was permitted him, to scorch men with fire. ⁹ And men were scorched with great heat; and men blasphemed the name of God, who hath authority over these plagues; and they repented not, to give glory to him. ¹⁰ And the fifth poured his cup on the throne of the beast of prey; and his kingdom became darkness; and they gnawed their tongues, from pain; ¹¹ and they blasphemed the God of heaven, on account of their pains and their ulcers, and did not repent of their deeds. ¹² And the sixth poured his cup upon the great river Euphrates; and its waters dried up, so that a way might be prepared for the kings from the rising of the sun. ¹³ And I saw issuing from the mouth of the dragon, and from the mouth of the beast of prey, and from the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs: ¹⁴ (for they are the spirits of demons, who work prodigies;) and they go forth to all the kings of all the habitable world, to gather them to the battle of the great day of God Almighty. ¹⁵ (And lo, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments; lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.) ¹⁶ And they collected them together in a place called, in Hebrew, Armageddon. ¹⁷ And the seventh poured his cup on the air; and there issued a loud voice from the temple, from the throne, which said: It is done!

¹ Then came one of the seven angels who have the seven cups, and talked with me, saying: Come, I will show thee the judgment of the great harlot, who sitteth upon many waters;

⁷ Let us rejoice and exult, and give glory to him: for the marriage supper of the Lamb hath come, and his bride hath made herself ready.

² And I saw the holy city, the New Jerusalem, descending from God out of heaven, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.

³⁹ And when they came up from the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more; but he went on his way rejoicing.

² I knew a man in the Messiah fourteen years ago, (but whether in a body, or whether out of a body, I know not; God knoweth :) who was caught up to the third region of heaven. ³ And I knew this same man; (but whether in a body, or out of a body, I know not; God knoweth;) ⁴ and he was caught up to Paradise, and heard ineffable words, which it is not permitted a man to utter.

¹⁰ I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day; and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, which said:

³ And he led me in spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting on a red beast of prey, which was full of names of blasphemy, and had seven heads and ten horns.

³ And he who sat, was like the appearance of a jasper-stone, and of a sardine sard, and of a rainbow of the clouds, round about the throne, in form as the appearance of emeralds.

⁶ And before the throne, as it were a sea of glass like crystal; and in the midst of the throne, and around it, and before the throne, were four Animals, full of eyes in their front and in their rear.

⁸ And the temple was filled with smoke, from the glory of God and from his power; and no one was able to enter the temple, until the seven plagues of the seven angels were accomplished.

¹⁸ And the structure of its wall was of jasper; and the city was of pure gold, like pure glass. ¹⁹ And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every precious stone. The first foundation, a jasper; the second, a sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;

²² And I saw no temple in it; for the Lord Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb. ²³ And the city hath no need of the sun or of the moon, to enlighten it; for the glory of God enlighteneth it, and the Lamb is the lamps of it.

¹ And he showed me a river of living water, transparent as crystal, which proceeded from the throne of God and the Lamb.

⁵ And there will be no more night; and they have no need of the light of a candle, or of the light of the sun; because the Lord God giveth them light: and they will reign for ever and ever.

¹⁰ See that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say to you, That their angels in heaven, at all times, are beholding the face of my Father who is in heaven.

¹⁰ I say to you, That there will thus be joy, before the angels of God, over one sinner that repenteth.

²² And so it was, that the poor man died; and angels transported him to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.

⁷ To this hope, our twelve tribes hope to come, with earnest prayers by day and by night: and for this same hope, king Agrippa, I am accused by the Jews.

¹⁴ Are they not all spirits of ministration, who are sent to minister on account of them that are to inherit life?

¹⁷ And he measured its wall, a hundred and forty and four measures of the cubits of a man, that is, of the angel. ¹⁸ And the structure of its wall was of jasper; and the city was of pure gold, like pure glass. ¹⁹ And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every precious stone. The first foundation, a jasper; the second, a sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; ²⁰ the fifth, a sardonyx; the sixth, a sardius; the seventh, a chrysolite; the eighth, a beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. ²¹ And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each pearl one gate, and each gate one pearl: and the broad street of the city was pure gold, like brilliant glass.

²⁵ And its gates shall not be shut by day; for there is no night there.

² And the names of those twelve Legates are these: The first of them, Simon who is called Cephas, and Andrew his brother; and James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; ³ and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Thomas, and Matthew the publican; and James the son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus who was called Thaddeus; ⁴ and Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, he who betrayed him.

¹⁸ Also I say to thee, that thou art Cephas: and upon this rock, I will build my church: and the gates of death shall not triumph over it.

¹⁰ According to the grace of God which was given me, I laid the foundation like a wise architect; and another buildeth on it. But let each one see, how he buildeth on it. ¹¹ For any other foundation can no man lay, different from that which is laid, which is Jesus Messiah.

⁹ And James, Cephas, and John, who were accounted pillars, when they perceived the grace that was given to me, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship; that we should labor among the Gentiles, and they among the circumcision.

²⁰ And ye are built upon the foundations of the legates and the prophets; and Jesus the Messiah hath become the head of the corner in the edifice.

⁵ which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy legates and to his prophets, by the Spirit;

¹¹ And he gave some, legates; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers:

¹⁷ But do ye, my beloved, remember the words which were before spoken by the legates of our Lord Jesus the Messiah;

²⁰ Rejoice over her, O heaven, and ye Angels, and Legates, and Prophets; because God judgeth your cause with her.

¹ And a reed was given to me, like a rod; and the angel stood, saying, Arise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. ² But the court which is without the temple, leave out, and measure it not; because it is given to the Gentiles; and they will tread down the holy city forty and two months.

⁴ And I heard the number of them that were sealed, a hundred and forty and four thousand, sealed from every tribe of Israelites.

¹⁸ Here is wisdom: let him that hath intelligence, compute the number of the beast of prey; for it is the number of a man: and its number is six hundred and sixty and six.

³ And they sang a new song before the throne, and before the four Animals and the Elders: and no one was able to learn that song, except the hundred and forty and four thousand who were redeemed from the earth.

⁹ And there came one of those seven angels, who have the seven cups filled with the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying: Come, I will show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb.

¹¹ in which was the glory of God, as a brilliant light, and resembling a very precious gem; like a jasper stone, resembling crystal.

¹⁹ And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every precious stone. The first foundation, a jasper; the second, a sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;

²¹ And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each pearl one gate, and each gate one pearl: and the broad street of the city was pure gold, like brilliant glass.

⁴⁵ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchantman, who sought after rich pearls: ⁴⁶ and when he found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

⁴ And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and gilded with gold, and precious stones, and pearls; and she had a cup of gold in her hand, which was full of the pollutions and impurity of her whoredoms of the earth.

¹⁶ saying: Alas, alas! that great city, which was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and gilded with gold, and precious stones, and pearls; because, in one hour, such riches are laid waste.

¹¹ in which was the glory of God, as a brilliant light, and resembling a very precious gem; like a jasper stone, resembling crystal. ¹² And it had a wall great and lofty, which had twelve gates, and names inscribed on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.

¹⁸ And the structure of its wall was of jasper; and the city was of pure gold, like pure glass.

² And in the middle of its broad avenue, and near the river, on this side and on that, was the tree of life; which bore twelve sorts of fruits yielding one of its fruits each month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

¹⁹ Jesus answered, and said to them: Demolish this temple, and in three days I will again erect it. ²⁰ The Jews said to him: Forty and six years, this temple was building; and wilt thou build it again in three days? ²¹ But he spake of the temple of his body.

²¹ Jesus said to her: Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, ye will worship the Father.

²³ But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father requireth that worshippers be such.

³⁰ I and my Father are one.

¹⁹ For it pleased the Father, that in him all fullness should dwell;

⁹ in whom dwelleth all the fullness of the Divinity corporeally.

¹ Now, under the first covenant, there were ordinances of ministration, and a worldly sanctuary. ² For in the first tabernacle which was erected, there was the candlestick, and the table and the bread of the presence; and this was called the Sanctuary. ³ But the inner tabernacle, which was within the second veil, was called the Holy of Holies. ⁴ And there were in it the golden censer and the ark of the covenant, which was all over laid with gold; and in it were the golden urn which contained the manna and the rod of Aaron which sprouted, and the tables of the covenant; ⁵ and over it were the cherubim of glory, which overshadowed the mercy seat. But there is not time to speak particularly of each of the things which were so arranged. ⁶ And into the outer tabernacle the priests, at all times, entered, and performed their ministration. ⁷ But into the interior tabernacle, once a year only, the high priest entered, with the blood which he offered for himself and for the sins of the people. ⁸ And by this the Holy Spirit indicated, that the way to the holy places was not yet manifested, so long as the first tabernacle was standing: ⁹ and it was a symbol, for that time, during which oblation and sacrifices were offered that could not make perfect the conscience of him who offered them: ¹⁰ but they consisted only in food and drink, and in the ablutions of divers things; which were carnal ordinances, and were set up until the time of a reformation. ¹¹ But the Messiah who came, was a High Priest of the good things which he wrought: and he entered into the great and perfect tabernacle, which was not made with hands and was not of these created things. ¹² And he did not enter with the blood of goats and calves; but with the blood of himself, he entered once into the sanctuary, and obtained eternal redemption.

⁸ And these four Animals had, each of them, six wings around it: and within they were full of eyes: and they have no cessation, day or night, from saying: Holy, Holy, Holy, the Lord God, the Omnipotent, who was, and is, and is to come.

⁶ And I looked, and in the midst of the Elders stood a lamb, as if slain; and it had seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God that are sent into all the earth.

¹⁷ saying: We praise thee, O Lord God, Omnipotent, who art, and wast; because thou hast assumed thy great power, and hast reigned.

³ And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: Great and marvellous are thy deeds, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, O King of worlds.

⁷ And I heard one from the altar say: Yes, Lord God Almighty: true and righteous is thy judgment.

¹⁴ (for they are the spirits of demons, who work prodigies;) and they go forth to all the kings of all the habitable world, to gather them to the battle of the great day of God Almighty.

¹⁵ And from his mouth issued a sharp two-edged sword, that with it he could smite the nations; and he will rule the nations with a rod of iron; and he will tread the wine-press of the wrath of God Almighty.

⁴ And every tear will be wiped from their eyes; and there will no more be death, nor mourning, nor wailing; nor shall pain be any more; because the former things are passed away. ⁵ And He who sat on the throne, said: Behold, I make all things new. And he said: Write; because these are the faithful and true words of God.

²⁷ For the Son of man is to come in the glory of his Father, with all his holy angels; and then will he recompense to every man as his deeds are.

³⁸ For, whoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this sinful and adulterous generation, of him also will the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father, with his holy angels.

³² a light for a revelation to the Gentiles, and a glory for thy people Israel.

⁴ In him was life; and the life was the light of man.

⁹ The true light was that, which enlighteneth every man who cometh into the world.

¹⁸ No man hath ever seen God; the only begotten God, he who is in the bosom of his Father, he hath declared him.

²³ that every man may honor the Son, as he honoreth the Father. He that honoreth not the Son, honoreth not the Father that sent him.

²⁴ Father, I desire that those whom thou hast given me, may also be with me where I am; that they may see that glory of mine which thou hast given me, as thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

¹¹ And as I could see nothing, because of the glory of that light, those with me took me by the hand, and I entered Damascus.

¹ After these things, I saw another angel come down from heaven; and he had great authority and the earth was illumined by his glory.

¹⁰ And again he said: Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. ¹¹ And again he said: Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye nations. ¹² And again Isaiah said: There will be a root of Jesse; and he that shall arise, will be a prince for the Gentiles; and in him will the Gentiles hope.

¹⁶ that I should be a minister of Jesus Messiah among the Gentiles, and should subserve the gospel of God, that the oblation of the Gentiles might be acceptable, and be sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

²⁶ For they of Macedonia and Achaia, have been willing to make up a contribution for the needy saints who are at Jerusalem.

²⁶ And they will bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.

²³ And the city hath no need of the sun or of the moon, to enlighten it; for the glory of God enlighteneth it, and the Lamb is the lamps of it. ²⁴ And the nations that were saved, shall walk by means of its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory and the wealth of the nations into it.

⁴¹ The Son of man will send forth his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all the stumbling blocks, and all the doers of evil;

⁵ For this know ye, that every man who is a whoremonger, or impure, or avaricious, or a worshipper of idols, hath no inheritance in the kingdom of the Messiah and of God.

³ I also beseech of thee, my true yokefellow, that thou assist those women who toiled with me in the gospel; together with Clement, and with the rest of my helpers, whose names are written in the book of life.

¹⁴ Follow after peace with every man; and after holiness, without which a man will not see our Lord.

⁵ He that is victorious, shall be so clothed in white robes; and I will not blot out their name from the book of life; and I will confess their name before my Father, and before his angels.

⁸ And all that dwell on the earth, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, will worship him.

⁴ And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and gilded with gold, and precious stones, and pearls; and she had a cup of gold in her hand, which was full of the pollutions and impurity of her whoredoms of the earth. ⁵ And upon her forehead was the name written: Mystery: Babylon the great; the Mother of Harlots, and of the contaminations of the Earth.

¹² And I saw the dead, great and small standing before the throne; and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged from the things written in the books, according to their deeds.

¹⁵ And if any one was not found enrolled in the book of life, he was cast into this lake of fire.

⁸ But to the timid, and the unbelieving, and to the sinful, and polluted, and to manslayers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and to all false persons, their portion shall be in the lake that burneth with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.

¹⁴ Blessed are they who do his commandments, that they may have a right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. ¹⁵ Without will be dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and manslayers, and idolaters, and every one that loveth and doeth falsehood.
