Matthew 25:7

American Standard Version (1901)

Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

See the chapter Copy

Let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning;

Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for these things, give diligence that ye may be found in peace, without spot and blameless in his sight.

Be thou watchful, and establish the things that remain, which were ready to die: for I have found no works of thine perfected before my God.

Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him.

And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out.
