prepared for the devil <strong>and</strong> his angels; for I was hungry <strong>and</strong> you gave me no food, I was thirsty<br />
<strong>and</strong> you gave me no drink, I was a stranger <strong>and</strong> you did not welcome me, naked <strong>and</strong> you did<br />
not clothe me, sick <strong>and</strong> in prison <strong>and</strong> you did not visit me.' Then they also will answer, 'Lord,<br />
when did we see thee hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, <strong>and</strong> did not<br />
minister to thee?' Then he will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it not to one of the<br />
least of these, you did it not to me.'<br />
Mat 25:46 And these shall go away to punishment (jklb zoe) age-during, (a^kb^mb aionios<br />
which is translated as eternal in other translations) but the righteous to life age-during.' (YLT)<br />
“The original word translated here as “punishment” means torment, or suffering inflicted for<br />
crime. The noun is used but in one other place in the New Testament - 1Jo 4:18; “Fear hath<br />
‘torment.’” The verb from which the noun is derived is twice used – Act 4:21; 2Pe 2:9. In all<br />
these places it denotes anguish, suffering, punishment. It does not mean simply a “state or<br />
condition,” but absolute, positive suffering” (JFB)<br />
