Charles Spurgeon Commentary Revelation 21:8

"But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part [shall be] in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death." — Revelation 21:8 (ASV)

But the fearful, –

No, that is not the right word; it is the cowardly, for there are many who are full of fear who are nevertheless most sincere and right in God's sight: "But the cowardly," –

And unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, –

And the apostle John tells us that whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer, –

And whoremongers,

Unchaste and unclean men and women.

And sorcerers,—

Persons who profess to have communications with the dead, necromancers, spiritualists, and all people of that sort.

And idolaters, –

That is, all who love anyone or anything better than God, –

And all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

That is the death that never dies, the death which is far more to be dreaded than the death of the body.
