ThenG5119 shall he answerG611 themG846, sayingG3004, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, InasmuchG1909 asG3745 ye didG4160 it notG3756 to oneG1520 of the leastG1646 of theseG5130, ye didG4160 it notG3761 to meG1698.
AndG2532 theseG3778 shall go awayG565 intoG1519 everlastingG166 punishmentG2851: butG1161 the righteousG1342 intoG1519 lifeG2222 eternalG166.
ForG1063 he shall have judgmentG2920 without mercyG448, that hath shewedG4160 noG3361 mercyG1656; andG2532 mercyG1656 rejoiceth againstG2620 judgmentG2920. {rejoiceth: or, glorieth}
