ASV_Strong : Matthew 25
1. Then[G5119] shall the kingdom[G932] of heaven[G3772] be likened[G3666] unto[G3933] ten[G1176] virgins[G3933], who[G3748] took[G2983] their[G846] lamps[G2985], and went[G1831] forth[G1519] to meet[G529] the bridegroom[G3566].
2. And[G1161] five[G4002] of[G1537] them[G846] were[G2258] foolish[G3474], and[G2532] five[G4002] were wise[G5429].
3. For[G3748] the foolish[G3474], when they took[G2983] their[G1438] lamps[G2985], took[G2983] no[G3756] oil[G1637] with[G3326] them[G1438]:
4. but[G1161] the wise[G5429] took[G2983] oil[G1637] in[G1722] their[G846] vessels[G30] with[G3326] their[G846] lamps[G2985].
5. Now while[G1161] the bridegroom[G3566] tarried[G5549], they[G3573] all[G3956] slumbered[G3573] and[G2532] slept[G2518].
6. But[G1161] at[G3319] midnight[G3571] there is a[G1096] cry[G2906], Behold[G2400], the bridegroom[G3566]! Come[G2064] ye[G1831] forth[G1519] to meet[G529] him[G846].
7. Then[G5119] all[G3956] those[G1565] virgins[G3933] arose[G1453], and[G2532] trimmed[G2885] their[G846] lamps[G2985].
8. And[G1161] the foolish[G3474] said[G2036] unto the wise[G5429], Give[G1325] us[G2254] of[G1537] your[G5216] oil[G1637]; for[G3754] our[G2257] lamps[G2985] are going out[G4570].
9. But[G1161] the wise[G5429] answered[G611], saying[G3004], Peradventure[G3379] there will not[G3756] be[G714] enough[G714] for us[G2254] and[G2532] you[G5213]: go ye[G4198] rather[G3123] to[G4314] them that sell[G4453], and[G2532] buy[G59] for yourselves[G1438].
10. And[G1161] while[G565] they[G846] went[G565] away to buy[G59], the bridegroom[G3566] came[G2064]; and[G2532] they that were ready[G2092] went in[G1525] with[G3326] him[G846] to[G1519] the marriage[G1062] feast[G2532]: and the door[G2374] was shut[G2808].
11. Afterward[G5305] came[G2064] also[G2532] the[G3933] other[G3062] virgins[G3933], saying[G3004], Lord[G2962], Lord[G2962], open[G455] to us[G2254].
12. But[G1161] he answered[G611] and said[G2036], Verily[G281] I say[G3004] unto you[G5213], I know[G1492] you[G5209] not[G3756].
13. Watch[G1127] therefore[G3767], for[G3754] ye know[G1492] not[G3756] the day[G2250] nor[G3761] the hour[G5610].
14. For[G1063] it is as[G5618] when a man[G444], going into another country[G589], called[G2564] his own[G2398] servants[G1401], and[G2532] delivered[G3860] unto them[G846] his[G846] goods[G5224].
15. And[G2532] unto one[G3739] he gave[G1325] five[G4002] talents[G5007], to another[G3739] two[G1417], to[G1161] another[G3739] one[G1520]; to each[G1538] according to[G2596] his several[G2398] ability[G1411]; and[G2532] he went[G2112] on his journey[G589].
16. Straightway[G1161] he that received[G2983] the five[G4002] talents[G5007] went[G4198] and[G2532] traded[G2038] with[G1722] them[G2532], and made[G4160] other[G243] five[G4002] talents[G5007].
17. In[G2532] like[G5615] manner he[G846] also[G2532] that[G3588] received the two[G1417] gained[G2770] other[G243] two[G1417].
18. But[G1161] he that received[G2983] the one[G1520] went[G565] away and[G2532] digged[G3736] in[G1722] the earth[G1093], and[G2532] hid[G613] his[G846] lord[G2962]'s money[G694].
19. Now after[G3326] a[G5550] long[G4183] time[G5550] the lord[G2962] of[G1401] those[G1565] servants[G1401] cometh[G2064], and[G2532] maketh a[G3056] reckoning[G4868] with[G3326] them[G846].
20. And he that received[G2983] the five[G4002] talents[G5007] came[G4334] and brought[G4374] other[G243] five[G4002] talents[G5007], saying[G3004], Lord[G2962], thou deliveredst[G3860] unto me[G3427] five[G4002] talents[G5007]: lo[G1492], I have gained[G2770] other[G243] five[G4002] talents[G5007].
21. His[G846] lord[G2962] said[G5346] unto him[G846], Well done[G2095], good[G18] and[G2532] faithful[G4103] servant[G1401]: thou hast been[G2258] faithful[G4103] over[G1909] a few things[G3641], I will set[G2525] thee[G4571] over[G1909] many things[G3641]; enter thou[G1525] into[G1519] the joy[G5479] of[G2962] thy[G4675] lord[G2962].
22. And he[G2983] also[G2532] that received[G2983] the two[G1417] talents[G5007] came[G4334] and said[G2036], Lord[G2962], thou deliveredst[G3860] unto me[G3427] two[G1417] talents[G5007]: lo[G1492], I have gained[G2770] other[G243] two[G1417] talents[G5007].
23. His[G846] lord[G2962] said[G5346] unto him[G846], Well done[G2095], good[G18] and[G2532] faithful[G4103] servant[G1401]: thou hast been[G2258] faithful[G4103] over[G1909] a few things[G3641], I will set[G2525] thee[G4571] over[G1909] many things[G4183]; enter thou[G1525] into[G1519] the joy[G5479] of[G2962] thy[G4675] lord[G2962].
24. And[G1161] he also[G2532] that had received[G2983] the[G5007] one[G1520] talent[G5007] came[G4334] and said[G2036], Lord[G2962], I knew[G1097] thee[G4571] that[G3754] thou art[G1488] a hard[G4642] man[G444], reaping[G2325] where[G3699] thou didst[G4687] not[G3756] sow[G4687], and[G2532] gathering[G4863] where[G3606] thou didst[G1287] not[G3756] scatter[G1287];
25. and[G2532] I was afraid[G5399], and went[G565] away and hid[G2928] thy[G4675] talent[G5007] in[G1722] the earth[G1093]: lo[G1492], thou hast[G2192] thine own[G4674].
26. But his[G846] lord[G2962] answered[G611] and said[G2036] unto him[G846], Thou wicked[G4190] and[G2532] slothful[G3636] servant[G1401], thou knewest[G1492] that[G3754] I reap[G2325] where[G3699] I sowed[G4687] not[G3756], and[G2532] gather[G4863] where[G3606] I did[G1287] not[G3756] scatter[G1287];
27. thou[G4571] oughtest[G1163] therefore[G3767] to have put[G906] my[G3450] money[G694] to the bankers[G5133], and[G2532] at my coming[G2064] I[G1473] should have received[G2865] back[G302] mine own[G1699] with[G4862] interest[G5110].
28. Take[G142] ye away therefore[G3767] the talent[G5007] from[G575] him[G846], and[G2532] give[G1325] it unto him that hath[G2192] the ten[G1176] talents[G5007].
29. For[G1063] unto[G2192] every[G3956] one that hath[G2192] shall be given[G1325], and[G2532] he shall have abundance[G4052]: but[G1161] from[G575] him[G846] that hath[G2192] not[G3361], even[G2532] that which[G3739] he hath[G2192] shall be taken[G142] away[G575].
30. And[G2532] cast ye[G1544] out the unprofitable[G888] servant[G1401] into[G1519] the outer[G1857] darkness[G4655]: there[G1563] shall be[G2071] the weeping[G2805] and[G2532] the gnashing[G1030] of teeth[G3599].
31. But when[G3752] the Son[G5207] of man[G444] shall come[G2064] in[G1722] his[G846] glory[G1391], and[G2532] all[G3956] the[G32] angels[G32] with[G3326] him[G846], then[G5119] shall he sit[G2523] on[G1909] the throne[G2362] of[G1391] his[G846] glory[G1391]:
32. and[G2532] before[G1715] him[G846] shall be gathered[G4863] all[G3956] the nations[G1484]: and[G2532] he shall separate[G873] them[G846] one[G240] from[G575] another[G240], as[G5618] the shepherd[G4166] separateth[G873] the sheep[G4263] from[G575] the goats[G2056];
33. and[G2532] he shall set[G2476] the sheep[G4263] on[G1537] his[G846] right hand[G1188], but[G1161] the goats[G2055] on[G1537] the left[G2176].
34. Then[G5119] shall[G2046] the King[G935] say[G2046] unto them[G3588] on[G1537] his[G846] right hand[G1188], Come[G1205], ye blessed[G2127] of[G3962] my[G3450] Father[G3962], inherit[G2816] the kingdom[G932] prepared[G2090] for you[G5213] from[G575] the foundation[G2602] of the world[G2889]:
35. for[G1063] I was hungry[G3983], and[G2532] ye gave[G1325] me[G3427] to eat[G5315]; I was thirsty[G1372], and[G2532] ye gave[G4222] me[G3165] drink[G4222]; I was[G2252] a stranger[G3581], and[G2532] ye took[G4863] me[G3165] in[G4863];
36. naked[G1131], and[G2532] ye clothed[G4016] me[G3165]; I was sick[G770], and[G2532] ye visited[G1980] me[G3165]; I was[G2252] in[G1722] prison[G5438], and[G2532] ye came[G2064] unto[G4314] me[G3165].
37. Then[G5119] shall[G611] the righteous[G1342] answer[G611] him[G846], saying[G3004], Lord[G2962], when[G4219] saw we[G1492] thee[G4571] hungry[G3983], and[G2532] fed[G5142] thee[G2228]? or athirst[G1372], and[G2532] gave thee drink[G4222]?
38. And when[G4219] saw we[G1492] thee[G4571] a stranger[G3581], and[G2532] took thee in[G4863]? or[G2228] naked[G1131], and[G2532] clothed thee[G4016]?
39. And[G1161] when[G4219] saw we[G1492] thee[G4571] sick[G772], or[G2228] in[G1722] prison[G5438], and[G2532] came[G2064] unto[G4314] thee[G4571]?
40. And[G2532] the King[G935] shall answer[G611] and say[G2046] unto them[G846], Verily[G281] I say[G3004] unto you[G5213], Inasmuch[G1909] as[G3745] ye did[G4160] it unto[G80] one[G1520] of these my[G3450] brethren[G80], even these[G5130] least[G1646], ye did[G4160] it unto me[G1698].
41. Then[G5119] shall he say[G2046] also[G2532] unto them[G3588] on[G1537] the left hand[G2176], Depart[G4198] from[G575] me[G1700], ye cursed[G2672], into[G1519] the eternal[G166] fire[G4442] which is prepared[G2090] for the devil[G1228] and[G2532] his[G846] angels[G32]:
42. for[G1063] I was hungry[G3983], and[G2532] ye did not[G3756] give[G1325] me[G3427] to eat[G5315]; I was thirsty[G1372], and[G2532] ye gave[G4222] me[G3165] no[G3756] drink[G4222];
43. I was[G2252] a stranger[G3581], and[G2532] ye took[G4863] me[G3165] not[G3756] in[G4863]; naked[G1131], and[G2532] ye clothed[G4016] me[G3165] not[G3756]; sick[G772], and[G2532] in[G1722] prison[G5438], and[G2532] ye visited[G1980] me[G3165] not[G3756].
44. Then[G5119] shall[G611] they[G846] also[G2532] answer[G611], saying[G3004], Lord[G2962], when[G4219] saw we[G1492] thee[G4571] hungry[G3983], or[G2228] athirst[G1372], or[G2228] a stranger[G3581], or[G2228] naked[G1131], or[G2228] sick[G772], or[G2228] in[G1722] prison[G5438], and[G2532] did[G1247] not[G3756] minister[G1247] unto thee[G4671]?
45. Then[G5119] shall he answer[G611] them[G846], saying[G3004], Verily[G281] I say[G3004] unto you[G5213], Inasmuch[G1909] as[G3745] ye did[G4160] it not[G3756] unto one[G1520] of these[G5130] least[G1646], ye did[G4160] it not[G3761] unto me[G1698].
46. And[G2532] these[G3778] shall go away[G565] into[G1519] eternal[G166] punishment[G2851]: but[G1161] the righteous[G1342] into[G1519] eternal[G166] life[G2222].
