Revelation 20:11-15

* Resolved, that I will live so as I shall wish I had done when I come to die.
* Resolved to think much on all occasions of my own dying, and the common circumstances which attend to death.
* Resolved, that I will live so, as I wish I had don when I come to die.
* Resolved, that I will live just so as I can think I shall wish I had done, supposing I live to old age.
* Resolved, I will act so as I think I shall judge would have been best, and most prudent, when I come into the future world.
* Resolved to live with all my might while I do live.
