Verses related to Matthew, 25:

St. Matthew 25 presents three parables of Jesus over the end of time and the final judgment. The first is the parable of the ten virgins, which shows the importance of preparation and vigilance for the coming of the groom, which symbolizes Jesus. The second is the parable of the talents, which emphasizes the responsibility that each has to use the gifts God has given him for the common good and the growth of the kingdom of God. The third is the parable of sheep and goats, which shows that the final judgment will be based on our love and service actions to others.

1 Corinthians 12:7: "But each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common benefit." Just as the parable of talents teaches, God has given us specific gifts and talents that we should use for the good of others and the glory of God.

This particular verse emphasizes the importance of sharing our resources with the needy.

1 Thessalonians 5:6: "We do not sleep, therefore, like the others, but we watched and be sober." The parable of the ten virgins emphasizes the importance of surveillance and preparation for the groom's coming. This verse in particular emphasizes the need to be alert and vigilant spiritually.
