Luke 16:2

Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment,

For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.

“If anyone sins, doing any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, though he didn’t know it, he is still guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.

One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in Yahweh’s house all the days of my life, to see Yahweh’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple.

“I, Yahweh, search the mind. I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.”

For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right. In the middle of his days, they will leave him. At his end, he will be a fool.

For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away.

For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed; nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.

Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has.”

‘For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.

But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.

He uncovers deep things out of darkness, and brings out to light the shadow of death.

For the work of a man he will render to him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.

“Surely every man walks like a shadow. Surely they busy themselves in vain. He heaps up, and doesn’t know who shall gather.

But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back part of the price of the land?

He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and the dead.

Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.

in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.

each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is.

For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

I command you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom:

Don’t grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won’t be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.

The nations were angry, and your wrath came, as did the time for the dead to be judged, and to give your bondservants the prophets, their reward, as well as to the saints, and those who fear your name, to the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”

“Behold, I come quickly. My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.

For what is the hope of the godless, when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?

Rejoice, young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth, and walk in the ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes; but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.

Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

I commit this instruction to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which were given to you before, that by them you may wage the good warfare,

that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ—

The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works.

but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.

He will not be rich, neither will his substance continue, neither will their possessions be extended on the earth.

Behold, their prosperity is not in their hand. The counsel of the wicked is far from me.

For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.

and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one; that these local governors might give account to them, and that the king should suffer no loss.

I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.

He said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina away from him and give it to him who has the ten minas.’

“They said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’

But Peter asked her, “How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”

So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.

For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you.

Here, moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.

Some men’s sins are evident, preceding them to judgment, and some also follow later.

Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch on behalf of your souls, as those who will give account, that they may do this with joy, and not with groaning, for that would be unprofitable for you.

They will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.

I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.
