Revelation of John 2:11

Verse 11

He that overcometh - The conqueror who has stood firm in every trial, and vanquished all his adversaries.

Shall not be hurt of the second death - That is, an eternal separation from God and the glory of his power; as what we commonly mean by final perdition. This is another rabbinical mode of speech in very frequent use, and by it they understand the punishment of hell in a future life.
