And in that day shall be discovered every inward working of every human soul. Every appetite, passion, inclination, and affection, with the various combinations of them, with every temper and disposition that make up the whole complex character of each person. So it shall be clearly and infallibly seen who was righteous and who was unrighteous, and in what degree every action, or person, or character was either good or evil.

And in that day shall be discovered every inward working of every human soul: every appetite, passion, inclination, affection, with the various combinations of them, with every temper and disposition that constitute the whole complex character of each individual. So shall it be clearly and infallibly seen, who was righteous, and who unrighteous; and in what degree every action, or person, or character was either good or evil.
