Matthew 7:22–23
The word is against those who at the beginning believed rightly and carefully worked virtue — so as even to do signs, cast out demons, and prophesy — but later turned to baseness by willing choice and wicked eagerness.
When he says, “I never knew you,” (Matthew 7:22–23) he places the one who lived virtuously at the start but was condemned at the end on a level with those never known at all. God says he knows those he loves, and he loves those who believe in him wholly and do what is pleasing to him.
Greek
Ὁ λόγος κατὰ τῶν ἐν ἀρχῇ πιστευσάντων ὀρθῶς καὶ ἐπιμελῶς ἐργασαμένων τὴν ἀρετὴν ὡς καὶ σημεῖα ποιῆσαι καὶ δαιμόνια ἐκβαλεῖν καὶ προφητεῦσαι, ὕστερον δὲ τραπέντων εἰς φαυλότητα καὶ ἐξ ἑκουσίου προαιρέσεως καὶ μοχθηροῦ καὶ προθυμίας· εἰ γὰρ λέγει, ὅτι οὐκ ἔγνων ὑμᾶς οὐδέποτε, ἐν ἴσῳ τοῖς μηδ' ὅλως ἐγνωσμένοις τίθησιν τὸν ἐν ἀρχαῖς ἐναρέτως ζήσαντα, ἀλλὰ ἐπὶ τέλει κατεγνωσμένον. γινώσκειν δὲ λέγει ὁ θεός, οὓς ἀγαπᾷ· ἀγαπᾷ δὲ τοὺς ὁλοτρόπως εἰς αὐτὸν πιστεύον τας καὶ ποιοῦντας τὰ ἀρεστὰ αὐτῷ.
