and if their works are evil, they shall be restored unto him for evil; therefore, all things shall be restored to their proper order; every thing to its natural frame; mortality raised to immortality; corruption to incorruption; raised to endless happiness, to inherit the Kingdom of God, or to endless misery, to inherit the kingdom of the Devil; the one on one hand, the other on the other;

aAnd if their works are evil, they shall be restored unto thiem for evil;. tTherefore, all things shall be restored to their proper order;, every thing to its natural frame; —mortality raised to immortality;, corruption to incorruption; —raised to endless happiness, to inherit the Kkingdom of God, or to endless misery, to inherit the kingdom of the Ddevil;, the one on one hand, the other on the other;—

Simple English

And if their actions are evil, they will get back evil. So everything will be put back in its proper order. Everything will go back to how it should be. Dead bodies will become alive forever. Bodies that broke down will never break down again. Those who chose good will be raised to never-ending happiness. They will live in God’s kingdom. Those who chose evil will have never-ending sadness. They will live in the devil’s kingdom. One group on one side, the other group on the other side.

Paraphrase

But if their works were evil, they’ll be restored to evil. Everything returns to its proper place—everything back to its natural state. Mortality rises to immortality, corruption to incorruption. Some are raised to endless happiness and inherit God’s kingdom. Others to endless misery and inherit the devil’s kingdom. One on one side, the other on the other.
