²⁵ When the master of the house has got up, and the door has been shut, and you, still outside, give blows on the door, saying, Lord, let us in; he will make answer and say, I have no knowledge of where you come from.

¹⁰ And while they went to get oil, the master came; and those who were ready went in with him to the feast: and the door was shut.

¹¹ After that the other virgins came, saying, Lord, Lord, let us in.

¹² But he made answer and said, Truly I say to you, I have no knowledge of you.

²⁷ But he will say, Truly, I have no knowledge of you or where you come from; go away from me, you workers of evil.

⁴⁶ Why do you say to me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

²¹ Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will go into the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the pleasure of my Father in heaven.

²² A great number will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, were we not prophets in your name, and did we not by your name send out evil spirits, and by your name do works of power?

²³ And then will I say to them, I never had knowledge of you: go from me, you workers of evil.

¹⁷ For you have knowledge that even long after, when he was desiring the blessing for his heritage, he was turned away, though he made his request frequently and with weeping; because the past might not be changed.

⁸ Be not hard of heart, as when you made me angry, on the day of testing in the waste land,

² (For he says, I have given ear to you at a good time, and I have been your helper in a day of salvation: see, now is the good time; now is the day of salvation):

⁴¹ Then will he say to those on the left, Go from me, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire which is ready for the Evil One and his angels:

⁶ Make search for the Lord while he is there, make prayer to him while he is near:

⁶ For this cause let every saint make his prayer to you at a time when you are near: then the overflowing of the great waters will not overtake him.

¹⁶ Male and female of all flesh went in, as God had said, and the ark was shut by the Lord.
