Back to chapter

1830 Edition

Yea, they are grasped with death, and hell; and death, and hell, and the Devil, and all that have been seized therewith, must stand before the Throne of God, and be judged according to their works, from whence they must go into the place prepared for them, even a lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment.

Changes

Yea, they are grasped with death, and hell; and death, and hell, and the Ddevil, and all that have been seized therewith, must stand before the Tthrone of God, and be judged according to their works, from whence they must go into the place prepared for them, even a lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment.

Simple English

They are grabbed by death and hell. Death, hell, the Devil, and everyone caught with them must stand before God. They will be judged by what they have done. They must go to the place made for them. It is a lake of fire and burning rock. The pain never ends.

Paraphrase

They’re caught by death and hell. And death, hell, the devil, and everyone he’s captured will stand before God’s throne to be judged for what they’ve done. From there they’ll go to the place made for them—a lake of fire and burning sulfur, where the torment never ends.
