Matthew 7:21-23

The Sermon on the Mount: False Followers

21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

22 On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many miracles in your name?'

23 And then {I will say to them plainly}, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who practice lawlessness!'
