Then the King will say to those on His right hand, 'Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly I say to you, that he will gird himself and have them recline [to eat], and he will come and serve them.

Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.

For to me, to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.

For I am hard pressed by the two, having a desire to depart and to be with Christ, which is far better.

For I am already being poured out [as a drink offering], and the time of my departure has arrived.

Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not only to me, but also to all those who have loved His appearing.

But I consider it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by a reminder,

And I will make an effort also, whenever necessary, to cause you to have a reminder of these things after my departure.

"I know your works, and love, and faith and service, and your endurance; and your last works [are] greater than the first.

Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and guards his garments, lest he should walk naked and they should see his shame."
