Wherefore, he saves all except them they shall go away into
everlasting punishment, which is endless punishment, which is
eternal punishment, to reign with the devil and his angels in
eternity, where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched,
which is their torment;
And the end thereof, neither the place thereof, nor their torment,
no man knows,
Neither was it revealed, neither is, neither will be revealed unto
man, except to them who are made partakers thereof:
Nevertheless I, the Lord, show it by vision unto many, but
straightway shut it up again;
Wherefore the end, the width, the height, the depth, and the misery
thereof, they understand not, neither any man except them who are
ordained unto this condemnation.
And we heard the voice, saying, Write the vision, for lo! this is
the end of the vision of the sufferings of the ungodly!
OF THOSE WHO INHERIT THE CELESTIAL GLORY.
And again, we bear record, for we saw and heard, and this is the
testimony of the gospel of Christ, concerning them who come forth
in the resurrection of the just;
They are they who received the testimony of Jesus, and believed
on his name and were baptized after the manner of his burial,
being buried in the water in his name, and this according to the
commandment which he has given,
That by keeping the commandments they might be washed and cleansed
from all their sins, and receive the Holy Spirit by the laying on
of the hands of him who is ordained and scaled unto this power,
And who overcome by faith, and are sealed by the Holy Spirit of
promise, which the Father sheds forth upon all those who are just
and true.
They are they who are the church of the first born.
They are they into whose hands the Father has given all things--
They are they who are Priests and Kings, who have received of his
fullness, and of his glory,
And are Priests of the Most High, after the order of Melchisedek,
which was after the order of Enoch, which was after the order of
the Only Begotten Son;
Wherefore, as it is written, they are Gods, even the sons of God--
Wherefore all things are theirs, whether life or death, or things
present, or things to come, all are theirs and they are Christ's
and Christ is God's;
And they shall overcome all things;
Wherefore let no man glory in man, but rather let him glory in God,
who shall subdue all enemies under his feet--
These shall dwell in the presence of God and his Christ for ever
and ever.
These are they whom he shall bring with him, when he shall come in
the clouds of heaven, to reign on the earth over his people.
These are they who shall have part in the first resurrection.
These are they who shall come forth in the resurrection of the just.
