CHAPTER 9

16 And assuredly, as the Lord liveth, for the Lord God hath spoken it, and it is his eternal ^aword, which cannot ^bpass away, that they who are righteous shall be righteous still, and they who are ^cfilthy shall be ^dfilthy still; wherefore, they who are filthy are the ^edevil and his angels; and they shall go away into ^feverlasting fire, prepared for them; and their ^gtorment is as a ^hlake of fire and brimstone, whose flame ascendeth up forever and ever and has no end.

16a	1 Kgs. 8: 56. 56 Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not ^afailed one ^bword of all his good ^cpromise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant. Ps. 33: 11. 11 The ^acounsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. D&C 1: 38 (37-39). 38 What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken, and I excuse not myself; and though the heavens and the earth pass away, my ^aword shall not pass away, but shall all be ^bfulfilled, whether by mine own ^cvoice or by the ^dvoice of my ^eservants, it is the ^fsame. Moses 1: 4. 4 And, behold, thou art my son; wherefore ^alook, and I will show thee the ^bworkmanship of mine ^chands; but not all, for my ^dworks are without ^eend, and also my ^fwords, for they never cease.
b	D&C 56: 11. 11 And though the heaven and the earth pass away, these words shall not ^apass away, but shall be fulfilled.
c	Prov. 22: 8. 8 He that ^asoweth iniquity shall ^breap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail. TG Filthiness.
d	1 Ne. 15: 33 (33-35). 33 Wherefore, if they should ^adie in their wickedness they must be ^bcast off also, as to the things which are spiritual, which are pertaining to righteousness; wherefore, they must be brought to stand before God, to be ^cjudged of their ^dworks; and if their works have been filthiness they must needs be ^efilthy; and if they be filthy it must needs be that they cannot ^fdwell in the kingdom of God; if so, the kingdom of God must be filthy also. Alma 7: 21. 21 And he doth not dwell in ^aunholy temples; neither can filthiness or anything which is unclean be received into the kingdom of God; therefore I say unto you the time shall come, yea, and it shall be at the last day, that he who is ^bfilthy shall remain in his filthiness. Morm. 9: 14. 14 And then cometh the ^ajudgment of the Holy One upon them; and then cometh the time that he that is ^bfilthy shall be filthy still; and he that is righteous shall be righteous still; he that is happy shall be happy still; and he that is unhappy shall be unhappy still. D&C 88: 35. 35 That which ^abreaketh a law, and ^babideth not by ^claw, but seeketh to become a law unto itself, and willeth to abide in sin, and altogether abideth in sin, cannot be sanctified by law, neither by mercy, ^djustice, nor ^ejudgment. Therefore, they must remain ^ffilthy still.
e	TG Devil.
f	Mosiah 27: 28. 28 Nevertheless, after ^awading through much ^btribulation, repenting nigh unto death, the Lord in mercy hath seen fit to snatch me out of an ^ceverlasting burning, and I am born of God.
g	TG Punishment.
h	Rev. 19: 20. 20 And the beast was taken, and with him the ^afalse prophet that wrought ^bmiracles before him, with which he ^cdeceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a ^dlake of ^efire burning with brimstone. Rev. 21: 8. 8 But the fearful, and ^aunbelieving, and the abominable, and ^bmurderers, and ^cwhoremongers, and ^dsorcerers, and idolaters, and all ^eliars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the ^fsecond ^gdeath. 2 Ne. 28: 23. 23 Yea, they are grasped with death, and hell; and death, and hell, and the devil, and all that have been seized therewith must stand before the throne of God, and be ^ajudged according to their works, from whence they must go into the place prepared for them, even a ^blake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment. D&C 63: 17. 17 Wherefore, I, the Lord, have said that the ^afearful, and the ^bunbelieving, and all ^cliars, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie, and the ^dwhoremonger, and the ^esorcerer, shall have their part in that ^flake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the ^gsecond death. D&C 76: 36. 36 These are they who shall go away into the ^alake of fire and brimstone, with the devil and his angels—
