Matthew 7:21-23

Young's Literal Translation

²¹`Not every one who is saying to me Lord, lord, shall come into the reign of the heavens; but he who is doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens.

²²Many will say to me in that day, Lord, lord, have we not in thy name prophesied? and in thy name cast out demons? and in thy name done many mighty things?

²³and then I will acknowledge to them, that -- I never knew you, depart from me ye who are working lawlessness.
