Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.

Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn?

Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. ...
