“Then the King will say to those who are on his right hand, Come, you that have received a blessing from my Father, take possession of the kingdom which has been prepared for you since the foundation of the world… Then he will say to those who are on his left hand, in their turn, Go far from me, you that are accursed, into that eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels… And these shall pass on to eternal punishment, and the just to eternal life.” (St. Matthew xxv, 34, 41, 46)
