Matthew 7
7
1‘Judge not, that ye may not be judged,
2for in what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged, and in what measure ye measure, it shall be measured to you.
3‘And why dost thou behold the mote that [is] in thy brother's eye, and the beam that [is] in thine own eye dost not consider?
4or, how wilt thou say to thy brother, Suffer I may cast out the mote from thine eye, and lo, the beam [is] in thine own eye?
5Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then thou shalt see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6‘Ye may not give that which is [holy] to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the swine, that they may not trample them among their feet, and having turned — may rend you.
7‘Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you;
8for every one who is asking doth receive, and he who is seeking doth find, and to him who is knocking it shall be opened.
9‘Or what man is of you, of whom, if his son may ask a loaf — a stone will he present to him?
10and if a fish he may ask — a serpent will he present to him?
11if, therefore, ye being evil, have known good gifts to give to your children, how much more shall your Father who [is] in the heavens give good things to those asking him?
12‘All things, therefore, whatever ye may will that men may be doing to you, so also do to them, for this is the law and the prophets.
13‘Go ye in through the strait gate, because wide [is] the gate, and broad the way that is leading to the destruction, and many are those going in through it;
14how strait [is] the gate, and compressed the way that is leading to the life, and few are those finding it!
15‘But, take heed of the false prophets, who come unto you in sheep's clothing, and inwardly are ravening wolves.
16From their fruits ye shall know them; do [men] gather from thorns grapes? or from thistles figs?
17so every good tree doth yield good fruits, but the bad tree doth yield evil fruits.
18A good tree is not able to yield evil fruits, nor a bad tree to yield good fruits.
19Every tree not yielding good fruit is cut down and is cast to fire:
20therefore from their fruits ye shall know them.
21‘Not every one who is saying to me Lord, lord, shall come into the reign of the heavens; but he who is doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens.
22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, lord, have we not in thy name prophesied? and in thy name cast out demons? and in thy name done many mighty things?
23and then I will acknowledge to them, that — I never knew you, depart from me ye who are working lawlessness.
24‘Therefore, every one who doth hear of me these words, and doth do them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house upon the rock;
25and the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell not, for it had been founded on the rock.
26‘And every one who is hearing of me these words, and is not doing them, shall be likened to a foolish man who built his house upon the sand;
27and the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell, and its fall was great.’
28And it came to pass, when Jesus ended these words, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,
29for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

Matthew 7
7
1Judge not, that ye may not be judged; 2for with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you. 3But why lookest thou on the mote that is in the eye of thy brother, but observest not the beam that is in thine eye? 4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Allow me, I will cast out the mote from thine eye; and behold, the beam is in thine eye? 5Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine eye, and then thou wilt see clearly to cast out the mote out of the eye of thy brother. 6Give not that which is holy to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the swine, lest they trample them with their feet, and turning round rend you.
7Ask, and it shall be given to you. Seek, and ye shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you. 8For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened. 9Or what man is there of you who, if his son shall ask of him a loaf of bread, will give him a stone; 10and if he ask a fish, will give him a serpent? 11If therefore ye, being wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much rather shall your Father who is in the heavens give good things to them that ask of him?
12Therefore all things whatever ye desire that men should do to you, thus do ye also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets. 13Enter in through the narrow gate, for wide the gate and broad the way that leads to destruction, and many are they who enter in through it. 14For narrow the gate and straitened the way that leads to life, and they are few who find it.
15But beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but within are ravening wolves. 16By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather a bunch of grapes from thorns, or from thistles figs? 17So every good tree produces good fruits, but the worthless tree produces bad fruits. 18A good tree cannot produce bad fruits, nor a worthless tree produce good fruits. 19Every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire. 20By their fruits then surely ye shall know them.
21Not every one who says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but he that does the will of my Father who is in the heavens. 22Many shall say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied through thy name, and through thy name cast out demons, and through thy name done many works of power? 23and then will I avow unto them, I never knew you. Depart from me, workers of lawlessness. 24Whoever therefore hears these my words and does them, I will liken him to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock; 25and the rain came down, and the streams came, and the winds blew and fell upon that house, and it did not fall, for it had been founded upon the rock. 26And every one who hears these my words and does not do them, he shall be likened to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand; 27and the rain came down, and the streams came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, and it fell, and its fall was great. 28And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were astonished at his doctrine, 29for he taught them as having authority, and not as their scribes.
