The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament proclaim his handiwork.
The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the decrees of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is clear, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever; the ordinances of the Lord are true all of them just.
Who can climb the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? He whose hands are sinless, and whose heart is clean.
When a man reveres the Lord, He will teach him the way he should choose. He will abide in prosperity, and his descendants shall inherit the land. The friendship of the Lord is with those who revere him, and he makes his covenant known to them.
The Lord is the strength of his people; the saving refuge of his anointed One.
The word of the Lord is upright, and all his works are truthful. He loves justice and right;
Those are not my words but the word of the Lord who sent me.
I am the good shepherd. The Lord and I are One.
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because He has anointed me . He has sent me to bring glad tidings to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives and give sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, and to proclaim a year of favor from the Lord.

By the CONTEXT , no !!

Exactly! The judgment is about how those who rejected or received "the least of THESE my brethren." The judgment is about those who either rejected or received His disciples.
I believe that you are thinking of when the Nations are judged in Matt 25:32
Math 25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

This scripture seems to be talking about False Prophets and those that
do NOT develop the Fruits of the Spirit . eg. Catholic Priests
Matt 7:15 ¶ Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing,
but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 ¶ Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;
but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Slogan/motto:
Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic build
