44“They, too, will ask, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or as a stranger or in need of clothes or sick or in prison and didn’t help you?’ 

45“He will answer them, ‘I can guarantee this truth: Whatever you failed to do for one of my brothers or sisters, no matter how unimportant ⸤they seemed⸥, you failed to do for me.’ 

46“These people will go away into eternal punishment, but those with God’s approval will go into eternal life.”
