in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then will he render to every man according to his works."
1 Cor. iii. 8, 11, 12, &c.—“And every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. For other foundation no man can lay, but that which is laid, which is Christ Jesus. Now, if any man build upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble ; every man's work shall be manifest ; for the day of the Lord shall declare it, because it shall be revealed in fire : and the fire shall try every man's work, of what sort it is. If any man's work abide, which he hath built upon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's works burn, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire."
1 Pet. iii. 18, 19, 20.—“Because Christ also died once for our sins, the just for the unjust, that he might offer us to God, being put to death indeed in the flesh ; but brought to life by the spirit. In which also he came and preached to those spirits that were in prison ; which had been sometime incredulous, when they waited for the patience of God in the days of Noah.”
Rev. xxi. 27.—“There shall not enter into it any thing defiled, or that worketh abomination, or maketh a lie, but they that are written in the book of the life of the Lamb."
