Doing onto Others


Matthew 25:34-40

The king will say to those on his right,
"Come, O blessed of my Father of might;
Inherit the kingdom prepared for you,
From the foundation of the world to view;
For I was hungry and you gave me food,
I was thirsty and there was drink issued;
I was a stranger and you made me welcome,
Being naked, you clothed me since no income;
When I was sick, you came to me for a visit,
While in prison, you lifted my spirit."
Then the righteous in answer to sustain,
"When were you fed while in hunger pain?
When did you drink being dying of thirst?
When were you sick and had to be nursed?
When did I clothe you while being nude?
When were you in prison after being sued?
When were you ever a stranger to me?"
The king looked and replied with a decree;
"As you did to one of the least of these,
you had done it to me with such ease."
