People from all the countries in the world will come together in front of me. I will put them into two groups. I will do it in the same way that a shepherd puts his sheep and goats into two groups. He puts the sheep on his right side and the goats on his left side. ……The king will answer them, “I tell you this. You did all these things to help other people. They were not important people, but they were my friends. When you helped them, then you also helped me.” ……Then the king will reply, “Listen to this. You did not help people who are my friends. They were not important people. But when you did not help them, you also did not help me.” Then those people on the king’s left side will go away to the place where God will punish them for ever. But the good people on the king’s right side will live for ever with God.’ Matthew 25:32-33, 40, 45-46
萬民都要聚集在他面前。他要把他們分別出來,好像牧羊的分別綿羊山羊一般,把綿羊安置在右邊,山羊在左邊。……王要回答說:『我實在告訴你們,這些事你們既做在我這弟兄中一個最小的身上,就是做在我身上了。』 ……王要回答說:『我實在告訴你們,這些事你們既不做在我這 弟兄中一個最小的身上,就是不做在我身上了。』 這些人要往永刑裏去;那些義人要往永生裏去。」 馬太福音 25:32-33, 40, 45-46
