Matthew 25:3-10

1. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

2. 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

3. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

4. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

5. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

6. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

7. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

8. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
