Matthew 7

¹Judge not, that ye be not judged.

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

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 cast out the mote out of thine eye; and lo, the beam is in thine own eye?

⁵Thou hypocrite, cast out first 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 your pearls before the swine, lest haply they trample them under their feet, and turn and rend you.

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, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone;

¹⁰or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent?

¹¹If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

¹²All things therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, even so do ye also unto them: for this is the law and the prophets.

¹³Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby.

¹⁴For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it.

¹⁵Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.

¹⁶By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

¹⁷Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

¹⁸A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

¹⁹Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

²⁰Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

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 who is in heaven.

²²Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works?

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

²⁴Every one therefore that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, who built his house upon the 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 the rock.

²⁶And every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand:

²⁷and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof.

²⁸And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching:

²⁹for he taught them asonehaving authority, and not as their scribes.

Matthew 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.
