Matthew 13:41-50 GNB
(41) the Son of Man will send out his angels to gather up out of his Kingdom all those who cause people to sin and all others who do evil things,
(42) and they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where they will cry and gnash their teeth.
(43) Then God's people will shine like the sun in their Father's Kingdom. Listen, then, if you have ears!
(44) "The Kingdom of heaven is like this. A man happens to find a treasure hidden in a field. He covers it up again, and is so happy that he goes and sells everything he has, and then goes back and buys that field. (45) "Also, the Kingdom of heaven is like this. A man is looking for fine pearls, (46) and when he finds one that is unusually fine, he goes and sells everything he has, and buys that pearl. (47) "Also, the Kingdom of heaven is like this. Some fishermen throw their net out in the lake and catch all kinds of fish. (48) When the net is full, they pull it to shore and sit down to divide the fish: the good ones go into the buckets, the worthless ones are thrown away. (49) It will be like this at the end of the age: the angels will go out and gather up the evil people from among the good (50) and will throw them into the fiery furnace, where they will cry and gnash their teeth.
Matthew 13:41-50 NWT
41 The Son of man will send forth his angels, and they will collect out from his kingdom all things that cause stumbling and persons who are doing lawlessness, 42 and they will pitch them into the fiery furnace. There is where [their] weeping and the gnashing of [their] teeth will be. 43 At that time the righteous ones will shine as brightly as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let him that has ears listen.
44 “The kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid; and for the joy he has he goes and sells what things he has and buys that field. 45 “Again the kingdom of the heavens is like a traveling merchant seeking fine pearls. 46 Upon finding one pearl of high value, away he went and promptly sold all the things he had and bought it. 47 “Again the kingdom of the heavens is like a dragnet let down into the sea and gathering up [fish] of every kind. 48 When it got full they hauled it up onto the beach and, sitting down, they collected the fine ones into vessels, but the unsuitable they threw away. 49 That is how it will be in the conclusion of the system of things: the angels will go out and separate the wicked from among the righteous 50 and will cast them into the fiery furnace. There is where [their] weeping and the gnashing of [their] teeth will be.
Matthew 13:41-50 CEV
(41) The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather from his kingdom everyone who does wrong or causes others to sin.
(42) Then he will throw them into a flaming furnace, where people will cry and grit their teeth in pain.
(43) But everyone who has done right will shine like the sun in their Father's kingdom. If you have ears, pay attention!
Matthew 13:44-50 CEV The kingdom of heaven is like what happens when someone finds treasure hidden in a field and buries it again. A person like that is happy and goes and sells everything in order to buy that field. (45) The kingdom of heaven is like what happens when a shop owner is looking for fine pearls. (46) After finding a very valuable one, the owner goes and sells everything in order to buy that pearl. (47) The kingdom of heaven is like what happens when a net is thrown into a lake and catches all kinds of fish. (48) When the net is full, it is dragged to the shore, and the fishermen sit down to separate the fish. They keep the good ones, but throw the bad ones away. (49) That's how it will be at the end of time. Angels will come and separate the evil people from the ones who have done right. (50) Then those evil people will be thrown into a flaming furnace, where they will cry and grit their teeth in pain.
Matthew 13:41-50 BBE
(41) The Son of man will send out his angels, and they will take out of his kingdom everything which is a cause of error, and all those who do wrong,
(42) And will put them into the fire; there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.
(43) Then will the upright be shining as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him give ear.
(44) The kingdom of heaven is like a secret store of wealth in a field, which a man came across and put back again; and in his joy he goes and gives all he has, to get that field. (45) Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a trader searching for beautiful jewels. (46) And having come across one jewel of great price, he went and gave all he had in exchange for it. (47) Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net, which was put into the sea and took in every sort of fish: (48) When it was full, they took it up on the sands; and seated there they put the good into vessels, but the bad they put away. (49) So will it be in the end of the world: the angels will come and take out the bad from the good, (50) And will put them into the fire: there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.
