You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’

Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on [the] day of judgment than for that town.

“Here is My Servant, whom I have chosen, My beloved, in whom My soul delights. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He will proclaim justice to the nations.

A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not extinguish, till He leads justice to victory.

But I tell you that men will give an account on [the] day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.

The men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now [One] greater than Jonah is here.

The Queen of [the] South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now [One] greater than Solomon is here.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You pay tithes of mint, dill, and cumin. But you have disregarded the weightier [matters] of the law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.

You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape the sentence of hell?

But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.

The Queen of [the] South will rise at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now [One] greater than Solomon [is] here.

[The] men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now [One] greater than Jonah [is] here.

Woe to you Pharisees! For you pay tithes of mint, rue, and every herb, but you disregard justice and the love of God. You should have practiced [the latter] without neglecting [the former].

And this is the verdict The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil.

Furthermore, the Father judges no one but has assigned all judgment to the Son,

Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and {will} not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life.

And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is [the] Son of Man.

and come out — those who have done good to [the] resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to [the] resurrection of judgment.

I can do nothing by Myself; I judge only as I hear. And My judgment is just, because I do not seek My [own] will, but the will of [Him who] sent Me.

Now judgment is upon this world; now the prince of this world will be cast out.

And [when] He comes, He will convict the world in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:

and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world has been condemned.

In His humiliation He was deprived of justice. Who can recount His descendants? For His life was removed from the earth.”

[ All this is ] clear evidence of God’s righteous judgment. And so you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering.

The sins of some men are obvious, going ahead of [them] to judgment; but [the sins] of others do [not] surface until later.

Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that [to face] judgment,

but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume [all] adversaries.

Above all, my brothers, {do} not swear, not [by] heaven [or] earth [or by] any other oath. Simply {let} your “Yes be yes, and [your] “No, no, so that you will not fall under judgment.

For if God {did} not spare [the] angels when they sinned, but cast [them] deep into hell, placing [them] in chains of darkness to be held for judgment;

[ if all this is so, then the ] Lord knows how to rescue [the] godly from trials and to hold [the] unrighteous for punishment on [the] day of judgment.

Yet not even angels, [though] greater in strength and power, dare to bring such slanderous charges against them before [the] Lord.

And by that same word, the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for [the] day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

In this [way], love has been perfected among us, so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment; for in this world we are just like Him

And [the] angels who did not stay within their [own] domain but abandoned their [proper] dwelling— [these] He has kept in eternal chains under darkness, {bound} for judgment on [that] great day.

But [even] the archangel Michael, when he disputed with the devil over the body of Moses, did not presume to bring a slanderous charge {against him}, but said, “[The] Lord rebuke you!”

to execute judgment on everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of every ungodly act of wickedness and every harsh [word] spoken against Him by ungodly sinners.”

[And] he said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come. Worship the [One who] made the heavens and the earth and [the] sea and [the] springs of waters.

And I heard the altar reply: “Yes, Lord God Almighty, true and just [are] Your judgments.
