Without going into a heavy theological debate, in this text, Jesus is speaking about the final destination of those that are already physically dead. Death is not an escape. Those that did good deeds will be awarded with everlasting life; those that did evil will be also made alive to face the everlasting damnation. Fine print on damnation varies, and often the word used instead is condemnation. Here are some interesting interpretations of the word damnation which may help. Damnation: The state of being excluded from God’s mercy, and condemned to the everlasting punishment of the wicked. This is now the sense of the word damnation, in our language; but at the time when the Bible was translated, it signified the same as condemnation. The words damn and damnation ought therefore be still so understood, in such passages as Romans 13:2 14:23 1 Corinthians 11:29. Source: ATS Bible Dictionary In Romans 13:2, means "condemnation," which comes on those who withstand God's ordinance of magistracy. This sentence of condemnation comes not from the magistrate, but from God, whose authority is thus resisted. In 1 Corinthians 11:29 (RSV, "judgment") this word means condemnation, in the sense of exposure to severe temporal judgements from God, as the following verse explains. In Romans 14:23 the word "damned" means "condemned" by one's own conscience, as well as by the Word of God. The apostle shows here that many things which are lawful are not expedient; and that in using our Christian liberty the question should not simply be,Is this course I follow lawful? but also, Can I follow it without doing injury to the spiritual interests of a brother in Christ? He that "doubteth", i.e., is not clear in his conscience as to "meats", will violate his conscience "if he eat," and in eating is condemned; and thus one ought not so to use his liberty as to lead one who is "weak" to bring upon himself this condemnation.

In 1 Corinthians the bible teaches the righteous shall be rewarded according to the good they have done and suffer loss of reward for the bad they have done. Their salvation is never in question. Paul says their works will pass through fire. What ever remains will be rewarded. The unrighteous have no concern for the things of God and will not appear att he same judgement of believers which in fact happens before the world is judged. This I believe is so no unrighteous can accuse the redeemed. There will be many on that day point their fingers at those they recognise in the Lord's host to condemn them. Though the saved had faulty lives, their decision to choose Christ and live for Him will be their salvation. Paul said to do good to the church first. The Church comes first in Gods eyes. This is the church age. THe church has all authority on earth and the world cannot interfere. Ths devil keeps this truth as hidden as possible. God acts as a wind to disable the proud. Paul and the Apostles could endure persecution because they saw this many times.
