228、圣言教导我们，人死后仍活着。如经上说：
神不是死人的神，乃是活人的神。（马太福音22:31）
拉撒路死后被带到天堂，而财主却被投入阴间，即地狱（路加福音16:22-23等）；亚伯拉罕，以撒和雅各在天堂（马太福音8:11；22:31-32；路加福音20:37-38）；耶稣对强盗说，今日你要同我在乐园里了（路加福音23:43）。
228、死后的生命，圣言有如下教导：
拉撒路死了，被带去天国，但财主死了，投向地狱（16:22，23）。
亚伯拉罕，以撒和雅各在那里（8:11；22:31，32；20:37-38）。
耶稣对那强盗说，你今天要同我在乐园里了（23:43）。
摘自《天堂与地狱》
228. The Word tells us that we live after death. It says, for example, that God is not the God of the dead but of the living (Matthew 22:32); that Lazarus was carried up into heaven after his death, but the rich man was cast down into hell (Luke 16:22, 23, and following); that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are in heaven (Matthew 8:11; 22:31, 32; Luke 20:37, 38); and that Jesus said to the thief, "Today you will be with me in paradise" (Luke 23:43).
228. The Bible teaches that we live after death. For example: “God is not a God of dead people, but of living people” (Matthew 22:31). Lazarus was carried up to heaven when he died, but the rich man was thrown down into hell (Luke 16:22 {ign17}). Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are there (Matthew 8:11; 22:31-32; Luke 20:37-38). Jesus said to the robber, “Today you will be with me in Paradise” (Luke 23:43).
228. The Word teaches that people live after death, as for example, that God is not the God of the dead, but of the living (Matthew 22:32); that Lazarus after death was taken up into heaven, but the rich man was cast into hell (Luke 16:22-23); that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are there (Matthew 8:11; 22:31-32; Luke 20:37-38); that Jesus said to the thief, Today you will be with me in paradise (Luke 23:43).
228. That a man lives after death, is taught in the Word; as for instance, that God is not the God of the dead, but of the living (Matthew 22:31); that Lazarus after death was carried into heaven, but the rich man was cast into hell (Luke 16:22-23, et seq.); that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, are in heaven (Matthew 8:11; 22:31-32; Luke 20:37-38); and that Jesus said to the robber, To-day shalt thou be with Me in paradise (Luke 23:43).
228. That man lives after death, the Word teaches; as that:
God is not the God of the dead, but of the living (Matt. 22:31).
Lazarus after death was carried into heaven, but the rich man was cast into hell (Luke 16:22-23 seq.).
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are there (Matt. 8:11; 22:31, 32; Luke 20:37, 38).
Jesus said to the robber, Today shalt thou be with Me in paradise (Luke 23:43).
228. Quod homo post mortem vivat, docet Verbum; ut,
Quod Deus non sit mortuorum Deus, sed viventium (Matthaeus 22:31);
Quod Lazarus post mortem in caelum sublatus sit, dives autem conjectus in infernum (Lucas 16:22-23 seq.);
Quod Abrahamus, Isacus et Jacobus ibi sint (Matthaeus 8:11, 22:31-32; Lucas 20:37-38);
Quod Jesus dixerit ad latronem, "Hodie Mecum eris in paradiso" (Lucas 23:43).
