I like the Inspired Version of the Bible

Matthew 25:11
But he answered and said, Verily, I say unto you, You know me not.

The Inspired Version never says that God or Jesus didn’t know us. Of course, He does.
It’s about whether we know Him as Savior and Lord.

No, that is not a good translation, and reverses the word order, and the knowing (as in having entered into relationship) is on the Lord;'s part to those who know Him:

Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. (2 Timothy 2:19)

Thus to those who do not,

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. (Matthew 7:23)
