Back to chapter

1830 Edition

And there is a place prepared, yea, even that awful Hell of which I have spoken, and the Devil is the preparator of it; wherefore, the final state of the souls of men is to dwell in the kingdom of God, or to be cast out because of that justice of which I have spoken;

Changes

And there is a place prepared, yea, even that awful Hhell of which I have spoken, and the Ddevil is the preparator of it; wherefore, the final state of the souls of men is to dwell in the kingdom of God, or to be cast out because of that justice of which I have spoken;.

Simple English

There is a place prepared, that awful hell I have talked about, and the devil is the one who prepares it. So the final state of people’s souls is to live in God’s kingdom, or to be thrown out because of the justice I have talked about.

Paraphrase

“That place exists—the awful hell I mentioned. The devil prepared it. In the end, souls either live in God’s kingdom or get cast out because of God’s justice.”
