Mattityahu 7
7
1Judge not lest you be judged.
2For with what gezar din (verdict) you judge, you will be judged, and with what measure you measure, it will be measured to you.
3And why do you see the speck in the eye of your Ach,#7:3 b'Moshiach but you do not consider the beam in your own eye.
4Or how will you say to your Ach,#7:4 b'Moshiach Let me take the speck out from your eye! (And, hinei! The beam is in your own eye!)
5Tzevua (hypocrite), first take the beam out of your eye, and then you will see clearly enough to take out the speck from the eye of your Ach.#7:5 b'Moshiach
6Do not give the kodesh to kelevim nor throw your pearls before chazirim, lest they will trample them with their feet and turn around and tear you into pieces.
7Keep asking and it shall be given to you; keep searching and you shall find; keep knocking and the delet shall be opened to you.
8For everyone asking receives, and the one searching finds, and to the one knocking the delet will be opened.
9Or what man is there among you the ben of whom will ask for lechem (bread), and he will give him a stone.
10Or if he asks for a dag (fish), will give him a nachash (snake)?
11Therefore, if you, being ra'im (evil ones), know to give matanot tovot (good gifts) to your yeladim, how much more does your Av shbaShomayim give hatov (the good) to the ones asking Him.
12Therefore, everything that you wish Bnei Adam do for you, thus also you do for them. For this is the Torah and the Neviim.
13Enter through the derech (way) of the shaar hatzarut (gate of narrowness), for wide is the delet and broad is the rekhov (street) leading to Avaddon (destruction, hell, Abaddon), and rabbim (many) are they who enter through it.
14But tzar (narrow) is the delet and constricted is the Derech (Way) that leads to Chayyim (life) and few are the ones finding it.
15Beware of the neviei hasheker (false prophets), who come to you in the malbush (clothing) of kevasim (sheep), but within are ravenous ze'evim (wolves).
16By their perot (fruits) you will have da'as of them. Surely grapes are not gathered from thorns nor figs from thistles, are they?
17So every etz tov (good tree) produces pri tov (good fruit), but the etz nishchat (corrupt tree) produces pri rah.
18An etz tov is not able to produce pri rah nor is an etz nishchat able to produce pri tov.
19Kol etz (every tree) not producing pri tov is cut off and is thrown into HaEish (the Fire).#7:19 (Isa 66:24; Dan 12:2)
20Therefore, by their perot (fruits) you shall have da'as of them.
21Not all the ones saying to me, Adoneinu, Adoneinu, will enter the Malchut HaShomayim, but the one doing the ratzon Avi shbaShomayim (the will of my Father in Heaven).#7:21 Mt 26:39
22Many#7:22 messianic darshanim will say to me#7:22 Moshiach on that Day,#7:22 the Yom HaDin, the Day of Judgment Adoneinu, Adoneinu, did we not speak as neviim in your Name? Did we not cast out shedim (evil spirits, demons) in your Name? Did we not accomplish many niflaot (miracles) in your Name?
23And then I will tell them to their face, I never had da'as of you. Depart from me, you workers of mufkarut (lawlessness).#7:23 Ps 6:8 [9]
24Therefore, everyone who hears these devarim (words) of mine and does them, is like a chacham (wise man) who built his bais (house) upon the Tzur (Rock).
25And the geshem (rain) came down, the floods arrived, and the winds blew and beat against that bais, and it did not fall, for it had been founded upon the Tzur (Rock).
26And everyone hearing these words of mine#7:26 Divrei Moshiach and not doing them is like the shoteh (fool), who built his bais upon the sand.
27And the geshem (rain) came down, and the floods arrived, and the winds blew and beat against that bais, and it fell, and gadolah was the mapalah (fall, downfall, defeat) of it.
28And it came about when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach finished these divrei torah (words of teaching), the multitudes were filled with fear and wonder at his torah.
29For his ministry of moreh (teacher) was as one having samchut (authority) and not as their Sofrim (scribes, torah teachers, rabbonim).

Mattityahu (Mat) 7
7
1“Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged. 2For the way you judge others is how you will be judged — the measure with which you measure out will be used to measure to you. 3Why do you see the splinter in your brother’s eye but not notice the log in your own eye? 4How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the splinter out of your eye,’ when you have the log in your own eye? 5You hypocrite! First, take the log out of your own eye; then you will see clearly, so that you can remove the splinter from your brother’s eye!
6“Don’t give to dogs what is holy, and don’t throw your pearls to the pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, then turn and attack you.
7“Keep asking, and it will be given to you; keep seeking, and you will find; keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who keeps asking receives; he who keeps seeking finds; and to him who keeps knocking, the door will be opened. 9Is there anyone here who, if his son asks him for a loaf of bread, will give him a stone? 10or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11So if you, even though you are bad, know how to give your children gifts that are good, how much more will your Father in heaven keep giving good things to those who keep asking him!
12“Always treat others as you would like them to treat you; that sums up the teaching of the Torah and the Prophets.
13“Go in through the narrow gate; for the gate that leads to destruction is wide and the road broad, and many travel it; 14but it is a narrow gate and a hard road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
15“Beware of the false prophets! They come to you wearing sheep’s clothing, but underneath they are hungry wolves! 16You will recognize them by their fruit. Can people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise, every healthy tree produces good fruit, but a poor tree produces bad fruit. 18A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, or a poor tree good fruit. 19Any tree that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown in the fire! 20So you will recognize them by their fruit.
21“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, only those who do what my Father in heaven wants. 22On that Day, many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord! Didn’t we prophesy in your name? Didn’t we expel demons in your name? Didn’t we perform many miracles in your name?’ 23Then I will tell them to their faces, ‘I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness!’
24“So, everyone who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a sensible man who built his house on bedrock. 25The rain fell, the rivers flooded, the winds blew and beat against that house, but it didn’t collapse, because its foundation was on rock. 26But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a stupid man who built his house on sand. 27The rain fell, the rivers flooded, the wind blew and beat against that house, and it collapsed — and its collapse was horrendous!”
28When Yeshua had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at the way he taught, 29for he was not instructing them like their Torah-teachers but as one who had authority himself.
