1599 Geneva Bible
21 ¶ [a]Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, (A)but he that doeth my Father’s will which is in heaven.
22 (B)Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not by thy [b]Name prophesied, and by thy name cast out devils? and by thy name done many [c]great works?
23 And then will I profess to them, (C)[d]I never knew you, (D)depart from me [e]ye that work iniquity.
