Matthew 25:1-13

[1] “Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the groom. [2] Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent. [3] For when the foolish took their lamps, they did not take extra oil with them; [4] but the prudent ones took oil in flasks with their lamps. [5] Now while the groom was delaying, they all became drowsy and began to sleep. [6] But at midnight there finally was a shout: ‘Behold, the groom! Come out to meet him.’ [7] Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps. [8] But the foolish virgins said to the prudent ones, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’ [9] However, the prudent ones answered, ‘No, there most certainly would not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the merchants and buy some for yourselves.’ [10] But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the groom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut. [11] Yet later, the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open up for us.’ [12] But he answered, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you.’ [13] Be on the alert then, because you do not know the day nor the hour.

Proverbs 24:30-33

[30] I passed by the field of a lazy one, And by the vineyard of a person lacking sense, [31] And behold, it was completely overgrown with weeds; Its surface was covered with weeds, And its stone wall was broken down. [32] When I saw, I reflected upon it; I looked, and received instruction. [33] “A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest,”

Proverbs 21:20

[20] There is precious treasure and oil in the home of the wise, But a foolish person swallows it up.

Isaiah 55:6

[6] Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near.

Galatians 6:9-10

[9] Let’s not become discouraged in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not become weary. [10] So then, while we have opportunity, let’s do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.

Philippians 2:14-16

[14] Do all things without complaining or arguments; [15] so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world, [16] holding firmly the word of life, so that on the day of Christ I can take pride because I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.
