Matthew 25:1-6 ▼

1 “ Then the kingdom of the heavens will be likened to ten virgins, who, having taken their lamps, went out to meet the bridegroom,

2 and five of them were foolish, and five wise.

3 For the foolish, having taken their lamps, did not take oil with them;

4 but the wise took oil in the vessels with their lamps.

5 And in the tarrying of the bridegroom, they all became drowsy and were sleeping.

6 And in the middle of the night there was a cry: ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’
