106. 'Shall not be hurt by the second death' signifies that they shall not thereafter yield to evils and untruths from hell. By the first death is understood the death of the body, and by 'the second death' is understood the death of the soul, which is damnation (see below n. 853, 873). And because by 'Be thou faithful even unto death' is signified that they are going to acknowledge truths (veritas) until by their means untruths have been removed (n. 102), it follows that by 'shall not be hurt by the second death' is signified that they shall not thereafter yield to evils and untruths from hell, for thereby they are released from damnation.
