This verse right here is one of the most important verses in the whole bible
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Everyone should run through it regularly and check item by item that they aren’t doing that, and do their best to repent if so.
It matters what the words mean, too. We know “sorcerers” means “pharmakeists”. Do any of the other words have misunderstood or uncontemplated meanings?

Templum - "area for the taking of auguries" (see temple)
augury (n.)
late 14c., "divination from the flight of birds," from Old French augure, augurie "divination, soothsaying, sorcery, enchantment," or directly from Latin augurium "divination, the observation and interpretation of omens" (see augur (n.)). The sense of "omen, portent, indication, that which forebodes" is from 1610s. Often in plural, auguries.
Neat!
Another very important verse is of our presentation of our very bodies as a living sacrifice. To truly understand all the context of this, we should know and understand the Old Testament sacrificial system, for we have become the priests!

It is also important to note that Jesus is speaking these words in Rev 21:6-8. These are also the last words of Jesus in The Bible.
