Matthew 25:12

³But anyone who loves God is known by him.

²⁷My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

¹⁹However, God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,”and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord^[+] from unrighteousness.”

²⁶Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ ²⁷He will say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.’ ²⁸There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in God’s Kingdom, and yourselves being thrown outside. ²⁹They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and will sit down in God’s Kingdom. ³⁰Behold, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last.”

⁶For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

⁵The arrogant will not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity.

³¹We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, he listens to him.

¹³You who have purer eyes than to see evil, and who cannot look on perversity, why do you tolerate those who deal treacherously and keep silent when the wicked swallows up the man who is more righteous than he,

⁹But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, why do you turn back again to the weak and miserable elemental principles, to which you desire to be in bondage all over again?
