CHAPTER 40

26 But behold, an awful ^adeath cometh upon the wicked; for they die as to things pertaining to things of righteousness; for they are unclean, and ^bno unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of God; but they are cast out, and consigned to partake of the fruits of their labors or their works, which have been evil; and they drink the dregs of a bitter ^ccup.

26a	Ps. 94: 3 (1-11) 3 Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked ^atriumph? 1 Cor. 6: 9 (9-10) 9 Know ye not that the ^aunrighteous shall not ^binherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither ^cfornicators, nor idolaters, nor ^dadulterers, nor ^eeffeminate, nor ^fabusers of themselves with mankind, 1 Ne. 15: 33. 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 12: 16. 16 And now behold, I say unto you then cometh a death, even a second ^adeath, which is a spiritual death; then is a time that whosoever dieth in his sins, as to a temporal ^bdeath, shall also ^cdie a spiritual death; yea, he shall die as to things pertaining unto righteousness. D&C 29: 41. 41 Wherefore, I, the Lord God, caused that he should be ^acast out from the Garden of ^bEden, from my presence, because of his transgression, wherein he became ^cspiritually ^ddead, which is the first death, even that same death which is the last ^edeath, which is spiritual, which shall be pronounced upon the wicked when I shall say: Depart, ye ^fcursed. TG Hell.
b	Eph. 5: 5. 5 For this ye know, that no ^awhoremonger, nor ^bunclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any ^cinheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Alma 11: 37. 37 And I say unto you again that he cannot save them in their ^asins; for I cannot deny his word, and he hath said that ^bno unclean thing can inherit the ^ckingdom of heaven; therefore, how can ye be saved, except ye inherit the kingdom of heaven? Therefore, ye cannot be saved in your sins. TG Uncleanness.
c	Ps. 75: 8. 8 For in the hand of the Lord there is a ^acup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and ^bdrink them.
