31 because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness ^pby a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.”

22 For the Father judges no one, but ^bhas given all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may ^chonor the Son, just as they honor the Father. ^dWhoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and ^ebelieves him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has ^fpassed from death to life.

25 “Truly, truly, I say to you, ^gan hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will ^hhear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, ⁱso he has granted the Son also to have life ^jin himself. 27 And he has given him authority to execute judgment, ^kbecause he is the Son of Man.

3 Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life!

6 ^lAnd the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day—

10 For ^zwe must all appear before the ^ajudgment seat of Christ, so that ^beach one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.

14 For ^gGod will bring every deed into judgment, with¹ every secret thing, ^hwhether good or evil.

36 I tell you, on the day of judgment people will ⁿgive account for every careless word they speak,

10 ^yWhy do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the ^zjudgment seat of God;

12 So then each of us will ^bgive an account of himself to God.

32 Before him will be gathered ^rall the nations, and he will ^sseparate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And he will place the ^tsheep on his right, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, ^uinherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For ^vI was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you ^wgave me drink, I was a ^xstranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then the ^yrighteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, ^zas you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,¹ you did it to me.’

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ^a‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44 Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ 45 Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ 46 ^bAnd these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
