"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven .
(Mat 5:3 WEB)
Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven .
(Mat 5:10 WEB)
Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
(Mat 5:16 WEB)
"Don't think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn't come to destroy, but to fulfill.
(Mat 5:17 WEB)
For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished.
(Mat 5:18 WEB)
Whoever, therefore, shall break one of these least commandments, and teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven ; but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven .
(Mat 5:19 WEB)
For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
(Mat 5:20 WEB)
In praying, don't use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.
(Mat 6:7 WEB)
Therefore don't be like them, for your Father knows what things you need, before you ask him.
(Mat 6:8 WEB)
Pray like this: 'Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
(Mat 6:9 WEB)
Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.
(Mat 6:10 WEB)
Give us today our daily bread.
(Mat 6:11 WEB)
Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
(Mat 6:12 WEB)
Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.'
(Mat 6:13 WEB)
But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
(Mat 6:33 WEB)
Therefore don't be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day's own evil is sufficient.
(Mat 6:34 WEB)
Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven ; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
(Mat 7:21 WEB)
Many will tell me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?'
(Mat 7:22 WEB)
Then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.'
(Mat 7:23 WEB)
Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.
(Mat 11:11 WEB)
Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
(Mat 12:25 WEB)
If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
(Mat 12:26 WEB)
If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
(Mat 12:27 WEB)
But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come upon you.
(Mat 12:28 WEB)
He answered them, "To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven , but it is not given to them.
(Mat 13:11 WEB)
For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever doesn't have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.
(Mat 13:12 WEB)
Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they don't see, and hearing, they don't hear, neither do they understand.
(Mat 13:13 WEB)
In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, 'By hearing you will hear, and will in no way understand; Seeing you will see, and will in no way perceive:
(Mat 13:14 WEB)
for this people's heart has grown callous, their ears are dull of hearing, they have closed their eyes; or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and should turn again; and I would heal them.'
(Mat 13:15 WEB)
"Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.
(Mat 13:18 WEB)
When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom, and doesn't understand it, the evil one comes, and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.
(Mat 13:19 WEB)
What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and immediately with joy receives it;
(Mat 13:20 WEB)
yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
(Mat 13:21 WEB)
What was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
(Mat 13:22 WEB)
What was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who most certainly bears fruit, and brings forth, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty."
(Mat 13:23 WEB)
He set another parable before them, saying, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,
(Mat 13:24 WEB)
but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds also among the wheat, and went away.
(Mat 13:25 WEB)
But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the darnel weeds appeared also.
(Mat 13:26 WEB)
The servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where did this darnel come from?'
(Mat 13:27 WEB)
"He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' "The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and gather them up?'
(Mat 13:28 WEB)
"But he said, 'No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.
(Mat 13:29 WEB)
Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, "First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn." ' "
(Mat 13:30 WEB)
He set another parable before them, saying, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field;
(Mat 13:31 WEB)
which indeed is smaller than all seeds. But when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches."
(Mat 13:32 WEB)
He spoke another parable to them. "The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, until it was all leavened."
(Mat 13:33 WEB)
Then Jesus sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the darnel weeds of the field."
(Mat 13:36 WEB)
He answered them, "He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
(Mat 13:37 WEB)
the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.
(Mat 13:38 WEB)
The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.
(Mat 13:39 WEB)
As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age.
(Mat 13:40 WEB)
The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity,
(Mat 13:41 WEB)
and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
(Mat 13:42 WEB)
Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
(Mat 13:43 WEB)
"Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.
(Mat 13:44 WEB)
"Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
(Mat 13:45 WEB)
who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
(Mat 13:46 WEB)
"Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet, that was cast into the sea, and gathered some fish of every kind,
(Mat 13:47 WEB)
which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach. They sat down, and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.
(Mat 13:48 WEB)
So will it be in the end of the world. The angels will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous,
(Mat 13:49 WEB)
and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth."
(Mat 13:50 WEB)
Jesus said to them, "Have you understood all these things?" They answered him, "Yes, Lord."
(Mat 13:51 WEB)
He said to them, "Therefore, every scribe who has been made a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings out of his treasure new and old things."
(Mat 13:52 WEB)
Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
(Mat 16:16 WEB)
Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
(Mat 16:17 WEB)
I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.
(Mat 16:18 WEB)
I will give to you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven , and whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven; and whatever you release on earth will have been released in heaven."
(Mat 16:19 WEB)
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
(Mat 16:24 WEB)
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.
(Mat 16:25 WEB)
For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?
(Mat 16:26 WEB)
For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.
(Mat 16:27 WEB)
Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom."
(Mat 16:28 WEB)
and said, "Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven .
(Mat 18:3 WEB)
Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven .
(Mat 18:4 WEB)
Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,
(Mat 18:5 WEB)
but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea.
(Mat 18:6 WEB)
Then Peter came and said to him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?"
(Mat 18:21 WEB)
Jesus said to him, "I don't tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.
(Mat 18:22 WEB)
Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants.
(Mat 18:23 WEB)
When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
(Mat 18:24 WEB)
But because he couldn't pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
(Mat 18:25 WEB)
The servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, saying, 'Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!'
(Mat 18:26 WEB)
The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
(Mat 18:27 WEB)
"But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him, and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you owe!'
(Mat 18:28 WEB)
"So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you!'
(Mat 18:29 WEB)
He would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay back that which was due.
(Mat 18:30 WEB)
So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done.
(Mat 18:31 WEB)
Then his lord called him in, and said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me.
(Mat 18:32 WEB)
Shouldn't you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?'
(Mat 18:33 WEB)
His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due to him.
(Mat 18:34 WEB)
So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don't each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds."
(Mat 18:35 WEB)
But Jesus said, "Allow the little children, and don't forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these."
(Mat 19:14 WEB)
"For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who was the master of a household, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
(Mat 20:1 WEB)
When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
(Mat 20:2 WEB)
He went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.
(Mat 20:3 WEB)
To them he said, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went their way.
(Mat 20:4 WEB)
Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
(Mat 20:5 WEB)
About the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle. He said to them, 'Why do you stand here all day idle?'
(Mat 20:6 WEB)
"They said to him, 'Because no one has hired us.' "He said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right.'
(Mat 20:7 WEB)
When evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager, 'Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last to the first.'
(Mat 20:8 WEB)
"When those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius.
(Mat 20:9 WEB)
When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.
(Mat 20:10 WEB)
When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,
(Mat 20:11 WEB)
saying, 'These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat!'
(Mat 20:12 WEB)
"But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Didn't you agree with me for a denarius?
(Mat 20:13 WEB)
Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you.
(Mat 20:14 WEB)
Isn't it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?'
(Mat 20:15 WEB)
So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen."
(Mat 20:16 WEB)
Jesus answered them, "I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
(Mat 21:24 WEB)
The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from men?" They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
(Mat 21:25 WEB)
But if we say, 'From men,' we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet."
(Mat 21:26 WEB)
They answered Jesus, and said, "We don't know." He also said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
(Mat 21:27 WEB)
But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, 'Son, go work today in my vineyard.'
(Mat 21:28 WEB)
He answered, 'I will not,' but afterward he changed his mind, and went.
(Mat 21:29 WEB)
He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, 'I go, sir,' but he didn't go.
(Mat 21:30 WEB)
Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said to him, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into the Kingdom of God before you.
(Mat 21:31 WEB)
For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn't believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn't even repent afterward, that you might believe him.
(Mat 21:32 WEB)
"Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household, who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a winepress in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country.
(Mat 21:33 WEB)
When the season for the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive his fruit.
(Mat 21:34 WEB)
The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
(Mat 21:35 WEB)
Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they treated them the same way.
(Mat 21:36 WEB)
But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, 'They will respect my son.'
(Mat 21:37 WEB)
But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, and seize his inheritance.'
(Mat 21:38 WEB)
So they took him, and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
(Mat 21:39 WEB)
When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?"
(Mat 21:40 WEB)
They told him, "He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers, who will give him the fruit in its season."
(Mat 21:41 WEB)
Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures, 'The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes?'
(Mat 21:42 WEB)
"Therefore I tell you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation bringing forth its fruit.
(Mat 21:43 WEB)
He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whoever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust."
(Mat 21:44 WEB)
"The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son,
(Mat 22:2 WEB)
and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast, but they would not come.
(Mat 22:3 WEB)
Again he sent out other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, "Behold, I have made ready my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the marriage feast!" '
(Mat 22:4 WEB)
But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise,
(Mat 22:5 WEB)
and the rest grabbed his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them.
(Mat 22:6 WEB)
When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
(Mat 22:7 WEB)
"Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren't worthy.
(Mat 22:8 WEB)
Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the marriage feast.'
(Mat 22:9 WEB)
Those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.
(Mat 22:10 WEB)
But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn't have on wedding clothing,
(Mat 22:11 WEB)
and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?' He was speechless.
(Mat 22:12 WEB)
Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness; there is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.'
(Mat 22:13 WEB)
For many are called, but few chosen."
(Mat 22:14 WEB)
"But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you don't enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.
(Mat 23:14 WEB)
For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will lead many astray.
(Mat 24:5 WEB)
You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren't troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not yet.
(Mat 24:6 WEB)
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places.
(Mat 24:7 WEB)
But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.
(Mat 24:8 WEB)
Then they will deliver you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name's sake.
(Mat 24:9 WEB)
Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.
(Mat 24:10 WEB)
Many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray.
(Mat 24:11 WEB)
Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.
(Mat 24:12 WEB)
But he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.
(Mat 24:13 WEB)
This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
(Mat 24:14 WEB)
"Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom.
(Mat 25:1 WEB)
Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
(Mat 25:2 WEB)
Those who were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them,
(Mat 25:3 WEB)
but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
(Mat 25:4 WEB)
Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
(Mat 25:5 WEB)
But at midnight there was a cry, 'Behold! The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!'
(Mat 25:6 WEB)
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
(Mat 25:7 WEB)
The foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'
(Mat 25:8 WEB)
But the wise answered, saying, 'What if there isn't enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.'
(Mat 25:9 WEB)
While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut.
(Mat 25:10 WEB)
Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us.'
(Mat 25:11 WEB)
But he answered, 'Most certainly I tell you, I don't know you.'
(Mat 25:12 WEB)
Watch therefore, for you don't know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
(Mat 25:13 WEB)
"For it is like a man, going into another country, who called his own servants, and entrusted his goods to them.
(Mat 25:14 WEB)
To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his own ability. Then he went on his journey.
(Mat 25:15 WEB)
Immediately he who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.
(Mat 25:16 WEB)
In like manner he also who got the two gained another two.
(Mat 25:17 WEB)
But he who received the one went away and dug in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
(Mat 25:18 WEB)
"Now after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reconciled accounts with them.
(Mat 25:19 WEB)
He who received the five talents came and brought another five talents, saying, 'Lord, you delivered to me five talents. Behold, I have gained another five talents besides them.'
(Mat 25:20 WEB)
"His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'
(Mat 25:21 WEB)
"He also who got the two talents came and said, 'Lord, you delivered to me two talents. Behold, I have gained another two talents besides them.'
(Mat 25:22 WEB)
"His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'
(Mat 25:23 WEB)
"He also who had received the one talent came and said, 'Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter.
(Mat 25:24 WEB)
I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the earth. Behold, you have what is yours.'
(Mat 25:25 WEB)
"But his lord answered him, 'You wicked and slothful servant. You knew that I reap where I didn't sow, and gather where I didn't scatter.
(Mat 25:26 WEB)
You ought therefore to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back my own with interest.
(Mat 25:27 WEB)
Take away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents.
(Mat 25:28 WEB)
For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who doesn't have, even that which he has will be taken away.
(Mat 25:29 WEB)
Throw out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
(Mat 25:30 WEB)
"But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.
(Mat 25:31 WEB)
Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
(Mat 25:32 WEB)
He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
(Mat 25:33 WEB)
Then the King will tell those on his right hand, 'Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;
(Mat 25:34 WEB)
for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in.
(Mat 25:35 WEB)
I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me.'
(Mat 25:36 WEB)
"Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink?
(Mat 25:37 WEB)
When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you?
(Mat 25:38 WEB)
When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?'
(Mat 25:39 WEB)
"The King will answer them, 'Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'
(Mat 25:40 WEB)
Then he will say also to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels;
(Mat 25:41 WEB)
for I was hungry, and you didn't give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;
(Mat 25:42 WEB)
I was a stranger, and you didn't take me in; naked, and you didn't clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn't visit me.'
(Mat 25:43 WEB)
"Then they will also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn't help you?'
(Mat 25:44 WEB)
"Then he will answer them, saying, 'Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you didn't do it to one of the least of these, you didn't do it to me.'
(Mat 25:45 WEB)
These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
