Matthew 7:21-23

I Never Knew You

21 1"Not everyone who 2says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will 3enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who 4does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 5On that day 6many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not 7prophesy in your name, and cast out demons 8in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?'
23 9And then will I declare to them, 'I 10never knew you; 11depart from me, 12you workers of lawlessness.'
