What then shall become of the infidels, which have no faith, which have not the spirit of God? Shall not they rise again? Yes verily. They shall rise, but not with Christ. They shall not rise the resurrection of the just. Some shall rise unto life, some unto death: some to salvation, others to damnation: some to glory, others to shame. We must all appear before the 1judgement seat of Christ, that every man may receive the things which are done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or evil. The wicked shall rise up again with their bodies, and their portion shall be with the Devil and his Angels: they shall come forth of their graves, to the resurrection of condemnation, their body and soul shall be cast into hell fire. Their worm shall never die: their fire shall not be quenched. It had been better for them, they had never been borne.
What then shal become of the infidelles, which haue no faith, which haue not the spirit of God? Shal not they rise againe? Yes verily. They shal rise, but not with Christ. They shal not rise the resurrection of the iust. Some shal rise vnto life, some vnto death: some to saluation, others to damnation: some to glory, others to shame. Wee must al appeare before the 1iudgement seate of Christ, that euerie man may receiue the thinges which are doone in his bodie, according to that he hath doone, whether it be good or euil. The wicked shal rise vp again with their bodies, and their portion shal be with the Diuel and his Angels: they shal come foorth of their graues, to the resurrection of condemnation, their bodie and soule shal be cast into hel fire. Their worme shal neuer die: their fire shal not be quenched. It had béen better for them, they had neuer béene borne.
V. 15. For this say we unto you, by the word of the Lord, that we which live, and are remaining in the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them that sleep.
