Matthew 25:41-46

The Final Judgment

⁴¹ "Then he will say to those on his left, _e 'Depart from me, you _f cursed, into _g the eternal fire prepared for _h the devil and his angels. ⁴² For _i I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, ⁴³ I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.' ⁴⁴ Then they also will answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?' ⁴⁵ Then he will answer them, saying, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, _j you did not do it to me.' ⁴⁶ And these will go away _k into eternal punishment, but the righteous _k into _l eternal life."
