³⁰ Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but ^(A)gather the wheat into my barn.” ’ ”

^12 (A)His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will ^(B)burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

²⁴ Some men’s sins are ^(A)clearly evident, preceding them to judgment, but those of some men follow later.

^5 (A)Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to ^(B)light the hidden things of darkness and ^(C)reveal the ^[a]counsels of the hearts. ^(D)Then each one’s praise will come from God.

⁶ If anyone does not abide in Me, ^(A)he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

The Great Day of God

^32 (A)All the nations will be gathered before Him, and ^(B)He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.

³⁹ The enemy who sowed them is the devil, ^(A)the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. ⁴⁰ Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. ⁴¹ The Son of Man will send out His angels, ^(B)and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, ^42 (C)and will cast them into the furnace of fire. ^(D)There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. ^43 (E)Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. ^(F)He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

¹⁷ His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and ^(A)gather the wheat into His barn; but the chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire.”
