The CI-123

Here are 123 texts from Genesis to Revelation that support Conditional Immortality, the teaching that only believers in Christ receive eternal life. 

These verses reveal the "soul" can and will die and be destroyed, the penalty for sin is death, the nature of God's judgment and justice of His jurisprudence, that eternal life is the gift of God Who only has immortality, and that the final fate for unbelievers is the everlasting punishment of everlasting destruction - to perish in the second death in a fire that consumes.
