Fill your lamp with the oil of faith

Matthew 25:1-13

1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 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. 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. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Mateo 25:1-13

1 “Entonces el reino de los cielos será semejante a diez vírgenes que tomando sus lámparas, salieron a recibir al esposo.” 2 “Y cinco de ellas eran prudentes, y cinco insensatas.” 3 “Las insensatas, tomaron sus lámparas, no tomando consigo aceite.” 4 “Mas las prudentes tomaron aceite en sus vasos, juntamente con sus lámparas.” 5 “Y tardándose el esposo, cabecearon todas y se durmieron.” 6 “Y a la media noche fue oído un clamor: He aquí, viene el esposo; salid a recibirle.” 7 “Entonces todas aquellas vírgenes se levantaron, y aderezaron sus lámparas.” 8 “Y las insensatas dijeron a las prudentes: Dadnos de vuestro aceite; porque nuestras lámparas se apagan.” 9 “Mas las prudentes respondieron, diciendo: No; no sea que no haya suficiente para nosotras y vosotras, id más bien a los que venden, y comprad para vosotras.” 10 “Y entre tanto que ellas iban a comprar, vino el esposo; y las que estaban apercibidas entraron con él a las bodas; y se cerró la puerta.” 11 “Y después vinieron también las otras vírgenes, diciendo: ¡Señor, señor, ábrenos!” 12 “Pero él, respondiendo, dijo: De cierto os digo: No os conozco.” 13 “Velad, pues, porque no sabéis el día ni la hora en que el Hijo del Hombre ha de venir.”
