The Final Judgment
31 d“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, ethen he will sit on his glorious throne. 32Before him fwill be gathered gall the nations, and hhe will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates ithe sheep from the goats. 33And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. 34Then jthe King will say to kthose on his right, ‘Come, you lwho are blessed by my Father, minherit nthe kingdom oprepared for you pfrom the foundation of the world. 35For qI was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you rgave me drink, sI was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 tI was naked and you clothed me, uI was sick and you vvisited me, wI was in prison and you came to me.’ 37Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40And xthe King will answer them, y‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these zmy brothers, ▼▼Or brothers and sisters
you did it to me.’ Romans 3:20
20For abby works of the law no human being ▼▼Greek flesh
will be justified in his sight, since adthrough the law comes knowledge of sin. James 2:18
18But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith aeapart from your works, and I will show you my faith afby my works.James 2:24
24You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.
