Matthew 21:33-43

Hear another parable: There was a certain man, the master of a family, who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged in it a wine-press, and built a tower, and hired it out to husbandmen, and went into a distant country. But when the season for fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen to receive his fruits. And the husbandmen took his servants, one they beat, and another they killed, and a third they stoned.read more.
Again he sent other servants more than the first, and they treated them in the same manner. Then at last he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir, come let us kill him, and let us seize on the inheritance. And they took him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. When therefore the master of the vineyard cometh, what will he do with these husbandmen? They say unto him, He will dreadfully destroy those wicked wretches, and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render him the fruits in their seasons. Jesus saith unto them, Have ye not read in the Scriptures, "The stone, which the builders rejected; the same is become the head of the corner; this is done by the Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes." Therefore I tell you, That the kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and given to a nation, producing the fruits thereof.

Acts 13:32-48

And we preach to you the promise made to our fathers; for this hath God fulfilled to their children, even to us, in raising up Jesus: as it is also written in the second Psalm, "Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee." But that he raised him from the dead, no more in future to return to corruption, he hath thus spoken, "I will give you the holy things of David, which are sure."read more.
Wherefore also he saith in another place, "Thou wilt not permit thy Holy One to see corruption." For David indeed, after having served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, and was placed with his fathers, and saw corruption. But he, whom God raised up, saw no corruption. Be it therefore known unto you, men and brethren, that through this man remission of sin is proclaimed to you: and by this man shall every one who believeth be justified from all things, from which it was not possible that he should be justified by the law of Moses. Take heed then, that this come not upon you, which is spoken by the prophets; "Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I do a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though one declare it unto you." But when the Jews were going out of the synagogue, the Gentiles entreated that these words might be spoken to them the following sabbath. And when the synagogue was dismissed, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, exhorting them, persuaded them to abide stedfast in the grace of God. And on the next sabbath almost all the city thronged together to hear the word of God. But the Jews seeing the multitude, were filled with envy, and opposed the things spoken by Paul, contradicting and reviling. Then Paul and Barnabas speaking with undaunted boldness, said, It was necessary that the word of God should be first spoken unto you: but since ye have thrust it from you, and judged yourselves not worthy of eternal life, lo! we turn to the Gentiles. For so hath the Lord enjoined us, "I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles, that thou mightest be for salvation unto the extremity of the earth." Now when the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord: and they believed, even as many as were ordained to life eternal.

Romans 10:1-21

BRETHREN, the kind wish of my heart indeed, and the prayer which I offer to God for Israel, is for their salvation. For I am a witness for them, that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For being ignorant of the righteousness which is of God, and seeking to establish a righteousness of their own, they have not submitted to the righteousness of God.read more.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. For Moses describeth the righteousness which is by the law, "That the man who doeth these things shall live by them." But the righteousness that is by faith speaketh thus, "Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down:) or, Who shall descend into the abyss?" (that is, to bring Christ up again from the dead.) But what saith it? "The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart:" that is, the word of faith which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart faith is exercised unto righteousness; and with the mouth is confession made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, "Every one who believeth in him shall not be confounded." For there is no difference between either Jew or Greek: for the same Lord of all is rich to all that call upon him. "For every one shall be saved, whosoever calleth on the name of the Lord." How then shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? but how shall they hear without a preacher? and how shall they preach unless they are sent? as it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, of those who preach the glad tidings of good things!" But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah saith, "Lord, who hath believed our report?" Faith then cometh by report, but the report by the word of God. But I say, Have they not heard? Yea verily, "the sound of their voice is gone forth into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world." But I say, Did not Israel know? Moses first saith, "I will excite your jealousy by what is no nation, and by an ignorant people will I provoke you to wrath." But Isaiah is very bold, and saith, "I have been found by those who sought me not; I have become manifest to those who inquired not after me." But unto Israel he saith, "All the day long have I stretched out my hands unto a people disobedient and contradicting."

Luke 16:26

And besides all these considerations, between us and you there is a vast chasm fixed: so that they who might be willing to pass from hence to you, cannot; neither can they pass through to us, from thence.

Revelation 20:11-15

And I saw a great white throne, and one sat upon it, from whose presence fled the earth and the heaven, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of the things written in the books according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and the grave gave up the dead that were in them; and every one was judged according to his works.read more.
And death and the grave were cast into the lake of fire: this is the second death. And if any one was not found inscribed on the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
