Matthew 25:41-46

41 "Then he will say to those on his left, 1'Depart from me, you 2cursed, into 3the eternal fire prepared for 4the devil and his angels.
42 For 5I 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, 6you did not do it to me.'
46 And these will go away 7into eternal punishment, but the righteous 8into 9eternal life."
