But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.

Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’

But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’

Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

[Jacob @retarteddickass]

At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’

Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’

‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’

[Jacob @retarteddickass]

At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.

[Jacob @retarteddickass]

Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered, disgraceth his head.

But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered, disgraceth her head: for it is all one as if she were shaven.
For if a woman be not covered, let her be shorn. But if it be a shame to a woman to be shorn or made bald, let her cover her head.

The man indeed ought not to cover his head, because he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man.

[Jacob @retarteddickass]

But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

[Jacob @retarteddickass]

Doth not even nature itself teach you, that a man indeed, if he nourish his hair, it is a shame unto him?

But if a woman nourish her hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering.

[Jacob @retarteddickass]

The Lord said to my Lord: Sit thou at my right hand: Until I make thy enemies thy footstool.

The Lord will send forth the sceptre of thy power out of Sion: rule thou in the midst of thy enemies.

With thee is the principality in the day of thy strength: in the brightness of the saints: from the womb before the day star I begot thee.

The Lord hath sworn, and he will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech.

The Lord at thy right hand hath broken kings in the day of his wrath.

He shall judge among nations, he shall fill ruins: he shall crush the heads in the land of the many.

He shall drink of the torrent in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.

[Jacob @retarteddickass]

Some distribute their own goods, and grow richer: others take away what is not their own, and are always in want.
The soul which blesseth, shall be made fat: and he that inebriateth, shall be inebriated also himself.

[Jacob @retarteddickass]

Wisdom that is hid, and treasure that is not seen: what profit is there in them both?
Better is he that hideth his folly, than the man that hideth his wisdom.

[Jacob @retarteddickass]

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

[Jacob @retarteddickass]

Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil. If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.

[Jacob @retarteddickass]

There is only one Lawgiver and Judge,the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?

[Jacob @retarteddickass]

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

[Jacob @retarteddickass]

Even in laughter the heart may ache, and rejoicing may end in grief.

[Jacob @retarteddickass]

And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

[Jacob @retarteddickass]

And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
