Matthew 25:1-13 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened to ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.… I. That an unconverted person may make a false profession of religion, as these "foolish virgins" took their burning lamps to do honour to the bridegroom. 2. That an unconverted person, making a false profession of religion, may suppose it to be genuine religion, as these five foolish virgins hoped that their lamps would be burning when the bridegroom came. 3. That those who make such a vain profession are most unwise. 4. That notwithstanding the folly of such conduct many are guilty of it. "Five." (B. W. Noel, M. A.)
