"Everyone who hears this should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. Those who win the victory will not be hurt by the second death.

Great blessings belong to those who share in this first resurrection. They are God's holy people. The second death has no power over them. They will be priests for God and for Christ. They will rule with him for 1000 years.

And Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This lake of fire is the second death.

But those who are cowards, those who refuse to believe, those who do terrible things, those who kill, those who sin sexually, those who do evil magic, those who worship idols, and those who tell lies—they will all have a place in the lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."
