To the woman He said, "I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth, in pain you will bring forth children. Yet your desire will be for your husband and he will rule over you."
Genesis 3:16
A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars; and she was with child; and she cried out, being in labor and in pain to give birth. Then another sign appeared in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads were seven diadems. And his tail swept away a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child. And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God and to His throne.
Revelation 12:1-5
Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the tribulation because of the joy that a child has been born into the world.... In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.
John 16:21-22,33
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revelation of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.
Romans 8:18-22
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. But all these things are the beginning of birth pangs. Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of my name.
Matthew 24:7-9

JUDGMENT
God will judge the world through the man he has appointed, Jesus. He will judge every single person by works without any partiality whatsoever. The Scriptures are unambiguously consistent regarding Judgment day. To those who have practiced good, eternal life. To those who have practiced evil, eternal destruction.
Ecclesiastes 12:14
For God will bring every work into judgment, everything which is hidden, whether good or evil.
Matthew 25:31-46
But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before him; and he will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; and he will put the sheep on his right, and the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on hs right, 'Come, you who are blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited me in; naked, and you clothed me; I was sick, and you visited me; I was in prison, and you came to me.' Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you, or thirsty, and give you something to drink? And when did we see you a stranger, and invite you in, or naked, and clothe you? When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?' The King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of mine, even the least of them, you did it to me.' Then he will also say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry, and you gave me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me nothing to drink; I was a stranger, and you did not invite me in; naked, and you did not clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit me.' Then they themselves also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of you?' Then He will answer them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.' These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
See Matt 3:8-10; 7:19; John 15:1-17; Eph 2:10; James 1:22-2:24; 1 John 3:14-18.

And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their works. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice, and will come forth; those who did good to a resurrection of life, those who practiced evil to a resurrection of judgment.

If you call upon as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay sojourning.
Romans 2:6-16
[God] will render to each one according to his works. To those who patienty do good seeking for glory, honor, and immortality, eternal life but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

The Coming Wrath
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said
to them, "You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Therefore bear fruit in keeping with repentance; and do not
suppose that you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father' for I
say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham.
The axe is already laid at the root of the trees; therefore every
tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. As for me, I baptize you in water unto repentance, but he who is coming
after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove his sandals. He will
baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in
his hand, and he will thoroughly clear his threshing floor and he will gather
his wheat into the barn, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
