Matthew 25:26-46

26“But his masterG2962 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to him, ‘You wickedG4190, lazyG3636 slaveG1401, you knewG3609 that I reapG2325 whereG3699 I did not sowG4687 and gatherG4863 whereG3606 I scatteredG1287 noG3756 seed. 27ThenG3767 you oughtG1163 to have putG906 my moneyG694 1in the bankG5133, and on my arrivalG2064 I would have receivedG2865 my money backG2865 with interestG5110. 28ThereforeG3767 takeG142 awayG142 the talentG5007 from him, and giveG1325 it to the one who hasG2192 the tenG1176 talentsG5007.’

29“2For to everyoneG3956 who hasG2192, more shall be givenG1325, and he will haveG4052 an abundanceG4052; but from the one who does not haveG2192, evenG2532 whatG3739 he does haveG2192 shall be takenG142 awayG142. 30ThrowG1544 out the worthlessG888 slaveG1401 into 3the outerG1857 darknessG4655; in that placeG1563 thereG1563 will be weepingG2805 and gnashingG1030 of teethG3599.

31“But whenG3752 4the SonG5207 of ManG444 comesG2064 in His gloryG1391, and allG3956 the angelsG32 with Him, thenG5119 5He will sitG2523 on His gloriousG1391 throneG2362. 32AllG3956 the nationsG1484 will be 6gatheredG4863 beforeG1715 Him; and He will separateG873 them from oneG240 anotherG240, 7as the shepherdG4166 separatesG873 the sheepG4263 from the goatsG2056; 33and He will putG2476 the sheepG4263 8on His rightG1188, and the goatsG2055 9on the leftG2176.

34“ThenG5119 the KingG935 will sayG3004 to thoseG3588 on His rightG1188, ‘ComeG1205, you who are blessedG2127 of My FatherG3962, 10inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 preparedG2090 for you 11from the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889. 35For 12I was hungryG3983, and you gaveG1325 Me something to eatG2068; I was thirstyG1372, and you gaveG4222 Me something to drinkG4222; 13I was a strangerG3581, and you invitedG4863 Me in; 3614nakedG1131, and you clothedG4016 Me; I was sickG770, and you 15visitedG1980 Me; 16I was in prisonG5438, and you cameG2064 to Me.’ 37ThenG5119 the righteousG1342 will answerG611 Him, ‘LordG2962, whenG4219 did we seeG3708 You hungryG3983, and feedG5142 You, orG2228 thirstyG1372, and giveG4222 You something to drinkG4222? 38And whenG4219 did we seeG3708 You a strangerG3581, and inviteG4863 You in, orG2228 nakedG1131, and clotheG4016 You? 39WhenG4219 did we seeG3708 You sickG770, orG2228 in prisonG5438, and comeG2064 to You?’ 4017The KingG935 will answerG611 and sayG3004 to them, ‘TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, 18to the extentG1909G3745 that you didG4160 it to oneG1520 of theseG3778 brothersG80 of MineG1473, even the leastG1646 of them, you didG4160 it to Me.’

41“ThenG5119 He will alsoG2532 sayG3004 to thoseG3588 on His leftG2176, ‘19DepartG4198 from Me, accursedG2672 ones, into the 20eternalG166 fireG4442 which has been preparedG2090 for 21the devilG1228 and his angelsG32; 42for I was hungryG3983, and you gaveG1325 Me nothing to eatG2068; I was thirstyG1372, and you gaveG4222 Me nothingG3756 to drinkG4222; 43I was a strangerG3581, and you did not inviteG4863 Me in; nakedG1131, and you did not clotheG4016 Me; sickG772, and in prisonG5438, and you did not visitG1980 Me.’ 44ThenG5119 they themselvesG846 alsoG2532 will answerG611, ‘LordG2962, whenG4219 did we seeG3708 You hungryG3983, orG2228 thirstyG1372, orG2228 a strangerG3581, orG2228 nakedG1131, orG2228 sickG772, orG2228 in prisonG5438, and did not 22takeG1247 careG1247 of You?’ 45ThenG5119 He will answerG611 them, ‘TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, to the extentG1909G3745 that you didG4160 not doG4160 it to oneG1520 of the leastG1646 of theseG3778, you didG4160 not doG4160 it to Me.’ 46TheseG3778 will goG565 awayG565 into 23eternalG166 punishmentG2851, but the righteousG1342 into 24eternalG166 lifeG2222.”
