Matthew 25:37–46
37“Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you a drink?↗
38When did we see you as a stranger and take you in, or naked and clothe you?↗
39When did we see you sick or in prison and come to you?’↗
40“The King will answer them, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’↗
41Then 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;↗
42for I was hungry, and you didn’t give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;↗
43I 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.’↗
44“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?’↗
45“Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you didn’t do it to one of the least of these, you didn’t do it to me.’↗
46These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”↗
