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.
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:
Go from me, all you workers of evil; for the Lord has given ear to the voice of my weeping.
Because the Lord sees the way of the upright, but the end of the sinner is destruction.
You will send destruction on those whose words are false; the cruel man and the man of deceit are hated by the Lord.
Morning by morning will I put to death all the sinners in the land, so that all evil-doers may be cut off from Jerusalem.
Go far from me, you evil-doers; so that I may keep the teachings of my God.
Even though their children have come to growth I will take them away, so that not a man will be there; for their evil-doing will be complete and they will be put to shame because of it.
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? And then will I say to them, I never had knowledge of you: go from me, you workers of evil.
But if anyone has love for God, God has knowledge of him.
But now that you have come to have knowledge of God, or more truly, God has knowledge of you, how is it that you go back again to the poor and feeble first things, desiring to be servants to them again?
