Torments: Luke 16:19-31; Acts 13:35; Psalm 9:17; John 3:18; Matt 9:48
Tartarus: a domain for certain fallen angels Gen 6; 2Pet 2:4; Jude 6; Heb 2:9-17; Historic myths of the Titan wars reveal a basis in truth regarding the imprisonment of some fallen angels in Tartartus. Some linkages to Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:7; Dan 3:25
Paradise: Psalm 116, Acts 2:27, Luke 23:39-43; Eph 4:8; Psalm 68; 2Cor 11:25; 2Cor 12;
Abyss: Luke 8:30-31; Rom 10:7; Rev 9:1-2, 11, 7:17, 11:7, 20:1-3;
Lake of Fire: Matt 25:41; Matt 9:48

Can you please point of the Greek word I'm supposed to be looking at in each of these passages. E.g., John 3:18 reads:

"He who believes in Him is not condemned (krinetai); but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

There is no place or "compartment" identified in that passage. I don't see any reference to "torments". Perhaps it's a translation difference. The Greek would help.

(Where did you copy this list from?)

Looking at another of these passages, Romans 10:6,7, the idea there is that "abyss" is merely a reference to the place of the dead (hades) is apparent. In fact Paul gives the correct interpretation for us.

"But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?' " (that is, to bring Christ down from above) or, " 'Who will descend into the abyss?' " (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead)."

BTW, there is no Matt. 9:48 in my Bible.

You failed the pop quiz on Mark 9:48.
