Matthew

7 Judge not, that ye be not judged;—

2 For with what judgment ye judge shall ye be judged,—And with what measure ye mete shall it be measured unto you.

3 Why moreover beholdest thou the mote, in the eye of thy brother,—While the beam in thine own eye thou dost not consider?

4 Or how wilt thou say unto thy brother, Let me cast the mote out of thine eye,—When lo! a beam is in thine own eye?

5 Hypocrite! cast first out of thine own eye the beam,—And then shalt thou see clearly to cast the mote out of the eye of thy brother.

6 Do not give what is holy unto dogs, Neither cast ye your pearls before swine,—Lest once they trample them down with their feet, And turning tear you.

7 Be asking and it shall be given you, Be seeking and ye shall find,—Be knocking, and it shall be opened unto you.

8 For whosoever asketh receiveth, And he that seeketh findeth,—And to him that knocketh shall it be opened.

9 Or what man from among yourselves, Whom his son shall ask for a loaf,—A stone will give him?

10 Or a fish also shall ask,—A serpent will give him?

11 If then ye being evil know how good gifts to be giving unto your children How much more will your Father who is in the heavens give good things to them that ask him?

12 Whatsoever things therefore ye would, that men be doing unto you So be ye also doing unto them,—For this is the law and the prophets.

13 Enter ye in at the narrow gate; Because broad and roomy is the way that leadeth unto destruction,—And many are they who enter thereby:

14 Because narrow is the gate and confined the way, that leadeth unto life,—And few are they who find it.

15 Beware of false prophets, Who come unto you in clothing of sheep,—While within they are ravening wolves.

16 By their fruits shall ye find them out,—Unless perhaps men gather—From thorns grapes! Or from thistles figs!

17 So every good tree fine fruit produceth,—Whereas the worthless tree evil fruit produceth:

18 It is impossible for a good tree to be bearing evil fruit, Neither doth a worthless tree produce fine fruit.

19 Every tree that beareth not fine fruit Is hewn down, and into fire is cast.

20 After all then by their fruits shall ye find them out.

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord! Lord! shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens,—But he that doeth the will of my Father who is in the heavens.

22 Many will say unto me in that day, Lord! Lord! did we not in thy name prophesy, And in thy name cast demons out,—And in thy name many works of power perform?

23 And then will I confess unto them, Never have I acknowledged you,—Depart from me, ye workers of lawlessness!

24 Every one therefore who heareth [these] my words, and doeth them Shall be likened to a prudent man who built his house upon the rock;

25 And the rain descended and the streams came and the winds blew, and rushed against that house, and it fell not; For it had been founded upon the rock.

26 And every one who heareth these my words, and doeth them not Shall be likened unto a foolish man who built his house upon the sand;

27 And the rain descended and the streams came and the winds blew, and dashed against that house, and it fell; and the fall thereof was great.

28 And it came to pass when Jesus ended these words with astonishment were the multitudes being struck at his teaching;

29 for he was teaching them as one having authority, and not as their Scribes.
