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 something] to drink?
38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome [you] as a guest, or naked and clothe [you]?
39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and come to you?'
40 And the king will answer [and] say to them, 'Truly I say to you, in as much as you did [it] to one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did [it] to me.'
41 Then he will also say to those on [his] left, 'Depart from me, [you] accursed ones, into the eternal fire that has been prepared for the devil and his angels!
42 For I was hungry and you did not give me [anything] to eat, I was thirsty and you did not give me [anything] to drink,
43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me as a guest, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not care for 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 not serve you?'
45 Then he will answer them, saying, 'Truly I say to you, in as much as you did not do [it] to one of the least of these, you did not do [it] to me.'
46 And these will depart into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
