"For I was hungry and you
gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink,
I was a stranger and you
welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I
was sick and you
visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.
Then the righteous will
answer him, saying,
'Lord, when did we see you
hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?
And when did we see you a
stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you?
And when did we see you sick
or in prison and visit you?'
And the King will answer
them,
'Truly, I say to you,
as you did it to one of the
least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'"
(Matthew 25.35-40 ESV)
