Matthew 25:9
Compare all
7 Then all those virgins arose and atrimmed their lamps.  
8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’
9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and athe door was shut.  
11 “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, a‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’  
12 But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, aI do not know you.’

Matthew 25:9

Matthew 25:9 Lest there be not enough for us and you. The wise virgins had sufficient for themselves, but none to spare, hence could be of no help. No one has a fund of surplus piety that he can turn over to someone else. Go ye, . . . and buy for yourselves. The advice is the best possible. Every one had to procure for himself the needful grace and piety.
