Matthew 7
7
1Judge not, that ye be not iudged. 2Eor with what iudgement ye iudge, ye shall be iudged, and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you againe. 3And why seest thou the mote, that is in thy brothers eye, and perceiuest not the beame that is in thine owne eye? 4Or howe sayest thou to thy brother, Suffer me to cast out the mote out of thine eye, and beholde, a beame is in thine owne eye? 5Hypocrite, first cast out that beame out of thine owne eye, and then shalt thou see clearely to cast out the mote out of thy brothers eye. 6Giue ye not that which is holy, to dogges, neither cast ye your pearles before swine, lest they treade them vnder their feete, and turning againe, all to rent you. 7Aske, and it shall be giuen you: seeke, and ye shall finde: knocke, and it shall be opened vnto you. 8For whosoeuer asketh, receiueth: and he, that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened. 9For what man is there among you, which if his sonne aske him bread, woulde giue him a stone? 10Or if he aske fish, wil he giue him a serpent? 11If ye then, which are euill, can giue to your children good giftes, howe much more shall your Father which is in heauen, giue good thinges to them that aske him? 12Therefore whatsoeuer ye woulde that men should doe to you, euen so doe ye to them: for this is the Lawe and the Prophets. 13Enter in at the streight gate: for it is the wide gate, and broade way that leadeth to destruction: and many there be which goe in thereat, 14Because the gate is streight, and the way narowe that leadeth vnto life, and fewe there be that finde it. 15Beware of false prophets, which come to you, in sheepes clothing, but inwardly they are rauening wolues. 16Ye shall know them by their fruites. Doe men gather grapes of thornes? or figges of thistles? 17So euery good tree bringeth foorth good fruite, and a corrupt tree bringeth forth euill fruite. 18A good tree can not bring forth euil fruite: neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruite. 19Euery tree that bringeth not forth good fruite, is hewen downe, and cast into the fire. 20Therefore by their fruites ye shall knowe them. 21Not euery one that sayeth vnto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdome of heauen, but he that doeth my Fathers will which is in heauen. 22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, haue we not by thy Name prophecied? and by thy name cast out deuils? and by thy name done many great workes? 23And then will I professe to them, I neuer knewe you: depart from me, ye that worke iniquitie. 24Whosoeuer then heareth of mee these words, and doeth the same, I will liken him to a wise man, which hath builded his house on a rock: 25And the raine fell, and the floods came, and the windes blewe, and beat vpon that house, and it fell not: for it was grounded on a rocke. 26But whosoeuer heareth these my wordes, and doeth them not, shall be likened vnto a foolish man, which hath builded his house vpon the sand: 27And the raine fell, and the floods came, and the windes blewe, and beat vpon that house, and it fell, and the fall thereof was great. 28And it came to passe, when Iesus had ended these wordes, the people were astonied at his doctrine. 29For he taught them as one hauing authoritie, and not as the Scribes.

Judging Others
(Luke 6.37,38,41,42)
1Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2#Mark 4.24. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Ask, Seek, Knock
(Luke 11.9-13)
7Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? 12#Luke 6.31. Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
The Narrow Gate
(Luke 13.24)
13Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
A Tree Is Known by Its Fruit
(Luke 6.43,44)
15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19#Matt 3.10; Luke 3.9. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20#Matt 12.33. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
I Never Knew You
(Luke 13.25-27)
21Not 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. 22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23#Ps 6.8. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
The Two Foundations
(Luke 6.46-49)
24Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28 #
Mark 1.22; Luke 4.32. And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: 29for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
