22 Many will say to me on that day,‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ (Taking the name of the Lord in vain - Using God's name for your advantage but not having a relationship with Him.

23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
