1. "Be happy, young man, while you are young, and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth.

(Ecclesiastes 11:9; 12:14b)

3. "But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken." (Matthew 12:36)

4. "There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known." (Luke 12:2)

5. "In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead." (Acts 17:30, 31)

6. "On the day [of judgment]… God will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ… " (Romans 2:16b)

8. "God will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts… " (1 Corinthians 4:5b)

10."Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books… Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire." (Revelation 20:12, 14, 15)
