Matthew 7:21-23

Contemporary English Version

A Warning

(Luke 13.26,27)

²¹ Not everyone who calls me their Lord will get into the kingdom of heaven. Only the ones who obey my Father in heaven will get in. ²² On the day of judgment many will call me their Lord. They will say, “We preached in your name, and in your name we forced out demons and worked many miracles.” ^23 (A) But I will tell them, “I will have nothing to do with you! Get out of my sight, you evil people!”
