Matthew 25

American Standard Version

1ThenG5119 shall the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 be likened unto tenG1176 virginsG3933, who tookG2983 their lampsG2985, and wentG1831 forthG1831 to meetG5222 the bridegroomG3566. 2And fiveG4002 of them wereG1510 foolishG3474, and fiveG4002 wereG1510 wiseG5429. 3For the foolishG3474, when they tookG2983 their lampsG2985, tookG2983 no oilG1637 with them: 4but the wiseG5429 tookG2983 oilG1637 in their vessels with their lampsG2985. 5NowG1161 while the bridegroomG3566 tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6But at midnight there is a cry, BeholdG2400, the bridegroomG3566! ComeG1831 ye forthG1831 to meetG529 him. 7Then all those virginsG3933 arose, and trimmed their lampsG2985. 8And the foolishG3474 saidG3004 unto the wiseG5429, GiveG1325 us of your oilG1637; for our lampsG2985 are going out. 9But the wiseG5429 answeredG611, sayingG3004, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: goG4198 ye ratherG3123 to them that sellG4453, and buyG59 for yourselves. 10And while they wentG565 awayG565 to buyG59, the bridegroomG3566 cameG2064; and they that were readyG2092 wentG565 in with him to the marriageG1062 feastG1062: and the doorG2374 was shutG2808. 11Afterward cameG2064 alsoG2532 the otherG3062 virginsG3933, sayingG3004, LordG2962, LordG2962, openG455 to us. 12But he answeredG611 and saidG3004, Verily I sayG3004 unto you, I know you not. 13WatchG1127 thereforeG3767, for ye know not the dayG2250 nor the hourG5610.

14Forit isaswhena manG444, going into another country, calledG2564 his ownG2398 servantsG1401, and deliveredG3860 unto them his goods. 15And unto oneG1520 he gaveG1325 fiveG4002 talentsG5007, to another twoG1417, to another oneG1520; to each accordingG2596 to his several abilityG1411; and he went on his journey. 16Straightway he that receivedG2983 the fiveG4002 talentsG5007 wentG4198 and traded with them, and madeG4160 otherG243 fiveG4002 talentsG5007. 17In like manner he also that received the twoG1417 gainedG2770 otherG243 twoG1417. 18But he that receivedG2983 the oneG1520 wentG565 awayG565 and digged in the earthG1093, and hidG2928 his lord’sG2962 moneyG694. 19NowG1161 after a long timeG5550 the lordG2962 of those servantsG1401 cometh, and maketh a reckoning with them. 20And he that receivedG2983 the fiveG4002 talentsG5007 cameG4334 and broughtG4374 otherG243 fiveG4002 talentsG5007, sayingG3004, LordG2962, thou deliveredst unto me fiveG4002 talentsG5007: lo, I have gainedG2770 otherG243 fiveG4002 talentsG5007. 21His lordG2962 saidG5346 unto him, Well done, goodG18 and faithfulG4103 servantG1401: thou hast beenG1510 faithfulG4103 over a fewG3641 thingsG4183, I will setG2525 thee over manyG4183 thingsG4183; enterG1525 thou into the joyG5479 of thy lordG2962. 22And he alsoG2532 that received the twoG1417 talentsG5007 cameG4334 and saidG3004, LordG2962, thou deliveredst unto me twoG1417 talentsG5007: lo, I have gainedG2770 otherG243 twoG1417 talentsG5007. 23His lordG2962 saidG5346 unto him, Well done, goodG18 and faithfulG4103 servantG1401: thou hast beenG1510 faithfulG4103 over a fewG3641 thingsG4183, I will setG2525 thee over manyG4183 thingsG4183; enterG1525 thou into the joyG5479 of thy lordG2962. 24And he alsoG2532 that had receivedG2983 the oneG1520 talentG5007 cameG4334 and saidG3004, LordG2962, I knewG1097 thee that thou art a hardG4642 manG444, reapingG2325 whereG3699 thou didst not sowG4687, and gatheringG4863 whereG3699 thou didst not scatterG1287; 25and I was afraidG5399, and wentG565 awayG565 and hidG2928 thy talentG5007 in the earthG1093: lo, thou hast thine own. 26But his lordG2962 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto him, Thou wickedG4190 and slothful servantG1401, thou knewest that I reapG2325 whereG3699 I sowedG4687 not, and gatherG4863 whereG3699 I did not scatterG1287; 27thou oughtest thereforeG3767 to have putG906 my moneyG694 to the bankers, and at my comingG2064 I should have receivedG2865 backG2865 mine own with interestG5110. 28TakeG142 ye awayG142 thereforeG3767 the talentG5007 from him, and giveG1325 it unto him that hath the tenG1176 talentsG5007. 29For unto every oneG3739 that hath shall be givenG1325, and he shall have abundanceG4052: but from him that hath not, evenG2532 that which he hath shall be takenG142 awayG142. 30And castG1544 ye out the unprofitable servantG1401 into the outerG1857 darknessG4655: there shall beG1510 the weepingG2805 and the gnashingG1030 of teethG3599.

31But whenG3752 the SonG5207 of manG444 shall comeG2064 in his gloryG1391, and all the angelsG32 with him, then shall he sitG2523 on the throneG2362 of his gloryG1391: 32and before him shall be gatheredG4863 all the nationsG1484: and he shall separateG873 them oneG240 from another, as the shepherdG4166 separateth the sheepG4263 from the goats; 33and he shall setG2476 the sheepG4263 on his rightG1188 handG1188, but the goats on the left. 34ThenG5119 shall the KingG935 sayG3004 unto them on his rightG1188 handG1188, ComeG1205, ye blessedG2127 of my FatherG3962, inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 preparedG2090 for you from the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889: 35for I wasG1510 hungryG3983, and ye gaveG1325 me to eatG2068; I wasG1510 thirsty, and ye gaveG1325 me drinkG4222; I wasG1510 a strangerG3581, and ye took me in; 36nakedG1131, and ye clothed me; I wasG1510 sickG770, and ye visited me; I wasG1510 in prisonG5438, and ye cameG2064 unto me. 37Then shall the righteousG1342 answerG611 him, sayingG3004, LordG2962, when sawG3708 we thee hungryG3983, and fedG5142 thee? or athirst, and gaveG4222 thee drinkG4222? 38And when sawG3708 we thee a strangerG3581, and took thee in? or nakedG1131, and clothed thee? 39And when sawG3708 we thee sickG770, or in prisonG5438, and cameG2064 unto thee? 40And the KingG935 shall answerG611 and sayG3004 unto them, Verily I sayG3004 unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto oneG1520 of these my brethren, evenG2532 these leastG1646, ye did it unto me. 41Then shall he sayG3004 alsoG2532 unto them on the left hand, DepartG4198 from me, ye cursedG2672, into the eternalG166 fireG4442 which is preparedG2090 for the devilG1228 and his angelsG32: 42for I was hungryG3983, and ye did not giveG1325 me to eatG2068; I was thirsty, and ye gaveG1325 me no drinkG4222; 43I wasG1510 a strangerG3581, and ye took me not in; nakedG1131, and ye clothed me not; sickG772, and in prisonG5438, and ye visited me not. 44Then shall they alsoG2532 answerG611, sayingG3004, LordG2962, when sawG3708 we thee hungryG3983, or athirst, or a strangerG3581, or nakedG1131, or sickG772, or in prisonG5438, and did not ministerG1247 unto thee? 45ThenG5119 shall he answerG611 them, sayingG3004, Verily I sayG3004 unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto oneG1520 of these leastG1646, ye did it not unto me. 46And these shall goG565 awayG565 into eternalG166 punishmentG2851: but the righteousG1342 into eternalG166 lifeG2222.
