Come, you blessed

Then the King will say to those on his right hand, Come, you blessed of my Father. For I was hungry and you gave me meat, thirsty and you gave me drink. I was a stranger and you took me in, naked and you clothed me. In the same manner, all the good they did upon earth will be recited before men and angels: whatever they had done, either in word or deed, in the name of the Lord Jesus, or for his sake.

All their good desires, intentions, and thoughts, all their holy dispositions, will also be remembered then. And it will appear that though they were unknown or forgotten among men, yet God noted them in his book. All their sufferings likewise for the name of Jesus, and for the testimony of a good conscience, will be displayed, to their praise from the righteous Judge, their honor before saints and angels, and the increase of that far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.

8. Then the king will say to them upon his right-hand, Come ye blessed of my Father. For I was hungry and ye gave me meat, thirsty and ye gave me drink, I was a stranger and ye took me in, naked and ye cloathed me. In like manner, all the good they did upon earth, will be recited before men and angels: whatsoever they had done either in word or deed, in the name, or for the sake, of the Lord Jesus. All their good desires, intentions, thoughts, all their holy dispositions, will also be then remembered; and it will appear, that though they were unknown or forgotten among men, yet God noted them in his book. All their sufferings likewise for the name of Jesus, and for the testimony of a good conscience will be displayed, unto their praise from the righteous Judge, their honour before saints and angels, and the increase of that far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
