Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

Matthew Chapter 24:13

But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Matthew Chapter 24:42

Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

Matthew Chapter 24:44

Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Matthew Chapter 25:1

Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

Matthew Chapter 25:2

And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

Matthew Chapter 25:3

They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

Matthew Chapter 25:4

But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

Matthew Chapter 25:5

While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

Matthew Chapter 25:6

And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

Matthew Chapter 25:7

Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

Matthew Chapter 25:8

And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

Matthew Chapter 25:9

But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

Matthew Chapter 25:10

And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

Matthew Chapter 25:11

Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

Matthew Chapter 25:12

But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

Matthew Chapter 25:13

Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Matthew Chapter 25:14

For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

Matthew Chapter 25:15

And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.

Matthew Chapter 25:16

Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.

Matthew Chapter 25:17

And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.

Matthew Chapter 25:18

But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

Matthew Chapter 25:19

After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.

Matthew Chapter 25:20

And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.

Matthew Chapter 25:21

His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Matthew Chapter 25:22

He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.

Matthew Chapter 25:23

His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Matthew Chapter 25:24

Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

Matthew Chapter 25:25

And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

Matthew Chapter 25:26

His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:

Matthew Chapter 25:27

Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

Matthew Chapter 25:28

Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

Matthew Chapter 25:29

For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

Matthew Chapter 25:30

And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew Chapter 25:31

When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

Matthew Chapter 25:32

And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

Matthew Chapter 25:33

And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

Matthew Chapter 25:34

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

Matthew Chapter 25:35

For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

Matthew Chapter 25:36

Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

Matthew Chapter 25:37

Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

Matthew Chapter 25:38

When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

Matthew Chapter 25:39

Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

Matthew Chapter 25:40

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Matthew Chapter 25:41

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Matthew Chapter 25:42

For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

Matthew Chapter 25:43

I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

Matthew Chapter 25:44

Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

Matthew Chapter 25:45

Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

Matthew Chapter 25:46

And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

John Chapter 16:33

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Romans Chapter 12:1

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

Romans Chapter 12:2

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Romans Chapter 13:11

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

2 Timothy Chapter 2:15
