And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 20 of Revelation. John sees a great white throne and the dead, great and small, standing before God. The books are opened together with the book of life, and the dead are judged according to their works. The sea, death, and Hades give up their dead, showing that no realm can retain those who will be summoned to judgment. Finally, death and Hades are thrown into the lake of fire, called the second death. The final destiny of those whose names are not found in the book of life completes the judgment scene.

Und ich sah die Toten, beide, groß und klein, stehen vor Gott, und Bücher wurden aufgetan. Und ein anderes Buch ward aufgetan, welches ist das Buch des Lebens. Und die Toten wurden gerichtet nach der Schrift in den Büchern, nach ihren Werken.
Y vi los muertos, grandes y pequeños, que estaban delante de Dios; y los libros fueron abiertos: y otro libro fue abierto, el cual es de la vida: y fueron juzgados los muertos por las cosas que estaban escritas en los libros, según sus obras.
Vi a los muertos, grandes y pequeños, de pie delante del trono. Se abrieron libros y se abrió otro libro, el de la vida. Los muertos fueron juzgados según sus obras, conforme a lo escrito en los libros.
Et je vis les morts, les grands et les petits, qui se tenaient devant le trône. Des livres furent ouverts. Et un autre livre fut ouvert, celui qui est le livre de vie. Et les morts furent jugés selon leurs oeuvres, d'après ce qui était écrit dans ces livres.
Ed io vidi i morti, grandi e piccoli, che stavano ritti davanti al trono; e i libri furono aperti; e un altro libro fu aperto, che è il libro della vita; e i morti furono giudicati dalle cose scritte ne’ libri, secondo le opere loro.
E vi os mortos, grandes e pequenos, que estavam diante de Deus, e abriram-se os livros; e abriu-se outro livro, que é o da vida. E os mortos foram julgados pelas coisas que estavam escritas nos livros, segundo as suas obras.
我又看見死了的人,無論大小,都站在寶座前。案卷都展開了,並另有一卷展開,就是生命冊。死了的人都憑著這些案卷所記載的,照他們所行的受審判。
