naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit
Me.' Then they themselves 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 take care of You?' Then He will answer them, saying, 'Truly
I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of
these, you did not do it to Me.' And these will go away into eternal
punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." Matthew 25:41-46

quenched. And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is
better for you to enter life lame, than having your two feet, to be cast into
hell, where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched. And
if your eye causes you to stumble, cast it out; it is better for you to enter
the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes, to be cast into hell,
where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched." Mark
9:43-48 (NAS)
