Author: Unknown

XLVIII.

Then shall they also make answer to the dread Judge,

‹ Section 47 Section 49 ›

who

accepteth

no

man’s

person

:

Lord

,

when

saw

we

Thee

an

hungered

,

or

athirst

,

or

a

stranger

,

or

naked

,

or

sick

,

or

in

prison

,

and

ministered

not

unto

Thee

?

Lord

,

dost

Thou

know

us

not

?

Thou

didst

form

us

,

Thou

didst

fashion

us

,

Thou

didst

make

us

of

four

elements

,

Thou

didst

give

us

spirit

and

soul

.

On

Thee

we

believed

;

Thy

seal

we

received

,

Thy

baptism

we

obtained

;

we

acknowledged

Thee

to

be

God

,

we

knew

Thee

to

be

Creator

;

in

Thee

we

wrought

sights

,

through

Thee

we

cast

out

demons

,

for

Thee

we

mortified

the

flesh

,

for

Thee

we

preserved

virginity

,

for

Thee

we

practised

chastity

,

for

Thee

we

became

strangers

on

the

earth

;

and

Thou

sayest

,

I

know

you

not

,

depart

from

me

!

Then

shall

He

make

answer

to

them

,

and

say

,

Ye

acknowledged

me

as

Lord

,

but

ye

kept

not

my

words

.

Ye

were

marked

with

the

seal

of

my

cross

,

but

ye

deleted

it

by

your

hardness

of

heart

.

Ye

obtained

my

baptism

,

but

ye

observed

not

my

commandments

.

Ye

subdued

your

body

to

virginity

,

but

ye

kept

not

mercy

,

but

ye

did

not

cast

the

hatred

of

your

brother

out

of

your

souls

.

For

not

every

one

that

saith

to

me

,

Lord

,

Lord

,

shall

be

saved

,

but

he

that

doeth

my

will

.

And

these

shall

go

away

into

everlasting

punishment

,

but

the

righteous

into

life

eternal

.
