# Death
## Ignatius Catholic Study Bible
**Death**
After death comes judgment: [[hebrews-09#^hebrews-09-27|Heb 9:27]]
Body in death appears to be asleep: [[1-corinthians-15#^1-corinthians-15-51|1 Cor 15:51]]
Dead are aware: [[luke-16#^luke-16-22|Lk 16:22-31]]; [[luke-23#^luke-23-42|23:42-43]]; [[2-corinthians-05#^2-corinthians-05-6|2 Cor 5:6, 8-9]]; [[2-corinthians-12#^2-corinthians-12-2|12:2-4]]; [[philippians-01#^philippians-01-23|Phil 1:23]]; [[hebrews-12#^hebrews-12-22|Heb 12:22-23]]; [[1-peter-03#^1-peter-03-18|1 Pet 3:18-20]]; [[revelation-06#^revelation-06-9|Rev 6:9-11]]; [[revelation-20#^revelation-20-4|20:4-5]]
Some Christians go on to be with Christ: [[2-corinthians-05#^2-corinthians-05-8|2 Cor 5:8]]; [[philippians-01#^philippians-01-23|Phil 1:23]]
Some Christians undergo purgation: *see* Purgatory
