IX–X. The separated soul is not extinguished; it does not sleep but remembers and knows its lot after judgment
IX. Further, the separated soul is not extinguished, but remains. Irenaeus in Against Heresies book 2, chapter 62, draws this chiefly from Christ's narrative: Most fully, he says, the Lord taught that souls persevere in that narration which is written of the rich man and of Lazarus, who was refreshed in Abraham's bosom. The same Christ confirms (Matthew 22:32; Mark 12:26–27; Matthew 10:28; and Luke 12:4 and 23:43); and Stephen (Acts 7:59); and Paul (Romans 8:10 and 14:8; Philippians 1:23).
X. The separated soul does not sleep, but remembers the things it did in this life, and knows what lot awaits it after judgment, and either rejoices in the thought of its felicity or is tormented by the expectation of terrible punishment. Irenaeus gathers this in the same place: Most fully, he says, the Lord taught not only that souls persevere, but also that they remember the works which they did here and from which they ceased, in that narration which is inscribed of the rich man and Lazarus, in which he says the rich man recognizes Lazarus after death, and Abraham likewise. The same the martyrs confirm (Revelation 6:10) and those who follow the Lamb (Revelation 14:4). Whence also Cyprian in his most elegant sermon On Mortality: A great number of dear ones, he says, awaits us there; a frequent and abundant throng of parents, brothers, children desires us — already secure of their own immortality, and still anxious about our salvation.

IX. Porro anima separata non exstinguitur, sed permanet. Irenaeus lib. 2. adversus haereses cap. 62. hoc potissimum educit e Christi narratione. Plenissime, inquiens, docuit Dominus perseverare animas in ea enarratione, quae scribitur de divite & de Lazaro, eo qui refrigerabatur in sinu Abrahae. Idem firmat Christus Matth. 22.32. Marc. 12.26.27. Matth. 10.28. & Luc. 12.4. & 23.43. & Stephanus Act. 7.59. & Paulus Rom. 8.11. & 14.8. Phil. 1.23. X. Anima separata non dormit, sed eorum meminit quae egit in hac vita, & quae sors se post judicium maneat novit, & vel felicitatis suae cogitatione gaudet, vel terribilis supplicii exspectatione torquetur. Hoc Irenaeus ibidem colligit. Plenissime, inquiens, Dominus docuit, non solum perseverare animas, sed & meminisse operum quae egerunt hic, & a quibus cessaverunt, in ea enarratione quae inscribitur de divite & Lazaro, in qua ait divitem cognoscere Lazarum post mortem, & Abrahamum similiter. Hoc idem firmant martyres Apoc. 6.10. & qui Agnum sequuntur, Apoc. 14.4. Unde & Cyprianus elegantissimo sermone de mortalitate: Magnus, inquit, illic nos charorum numerus exspectat, parentum, fratrum, filiorum frequens nos & copiosa turba desiderat, jam de sua immortalitate secura, & adhuc de nostra salute sollicita.
