Acts 20:20-27
20:20 You know that I did not hold back from proclaiming
to you anything that would be helpful,
and from teaching you publicly
and from house to house,
20:21 testifying
to both Jews and Greeks about repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus.
20:22 And now,
compelled
by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem
without knowing what will happen to me there,
20:23 except
that the Holy Spirit warns
me in town after town
that
imprisonment
and persecutions
are waiting for me.
20:24 But I do not consider my life
worth anything
to myself, so that
I may finish my task
and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the good news
of God’s grace.
20:25 “And now I know that none of you among whom I went around proclaiming the kingdom will see me again.
20:26 Therefore I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of you all.
20:27 For I did not hold back from announcing to you the whole purpose of God.
Revelation 11:18
11:18 The nations were enraged,
but your wrath has come,
and the time has come for the dead to be judged,
and the time has come to give to your servants,
the prophets, their reward,
as well as to the saints
and to those who revere your name, both small and great,
and the time has come to destroy those who destroy the earth.”
Revelation 20:12
20:12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne. Then
books were opened, and another book was opened – the book of life.
So
the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to their deeds.
