Revelation 20

Bible in Basic English (BBE)

11 Ref And I saw a great white seat, and him who was seated on it, before whose face the earth and the heaven went in flight; and there was no place for them.

12 Ref And I saw the dead, great and small, taking their places before the high seat; and the books were open, and another book was open, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged by the things which were in the books, even by their works.

13 Ref And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and Hell gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged every man by his works.

14 Ref And death and Hell were put into the sea of fire. This is the second death, even the sea of fire.

15 Ref And if anyone's name was not in the book of life, he went down into the sea of fire.

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

13 Ref and the sea did give up those dead in it, and the death and the hades did give up the dead in them, and they were judged, each one according to their works;

15 Ref and if any one was not found written in the scroll of the life, he was cast to the lake of the fire.
