The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments: The Latin of this verse is in a bad state of repair, but in our judgment Good News Bible makes as good sense as any approach. While the souls of the wicked look enviously at the places of rest enjoyed by the souls of the righteous, they look forward with dread to what they know is waiting for them. We recommend following Good News Bible as a model, including its textual footnote.
