Matthew 7:20-24

20 "So then, you will know them 1by their fruits.
21 "2Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
22 "3Many will say to Me on 4that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?'
23 "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; 5DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'
