Matthew 7

¹Judge not, that ye be not judged.

²For with what judgment ye judge, ye will be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it will be measured to you.

³And why dost thou look at the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, and not perceive the beam in thine own eye?

⁴Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me take the mote out of thine eye; when, lo! the beam is in thine own eye?

⁵Hypocrite! first cast the beam out of thine own eye; and then wilt thou see clearly to take the mote out of thy brother’s eye.

⁶Give not that which is holy to dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine; lest they trample them under their feet, and turn upon you and rend you.

⁷Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and ye will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

⁸For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, the door will be opened.

⁹Or what man is there of you, who, if his son ask for bread, will give him a stone?

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

¹¹If ye then, though evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him!

¹²All things, then, whatever ye would that men should do to you, do ye also so to them; for this is the Law and the Prophets.

¹³Enter in at the strait gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction; and many are they who go in thereat.

¹⁴For strait is the gate, and narrow the way, that leadeth to life; and few are they who find it.

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

¹⁶Ye may know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

¹⁷So every good tree beareth good fruit; but a bad tree beareth bad fruit.

¹⁸A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor call a bad tree bear good fruit.

¹⁹Every tree that beareth not good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.

²⁰So then ye may know them by their fruits.

²¹Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, will 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 in thy name, and in thy name cast out demons, and in thy name work many miracles?

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

²⁴Every one then that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened to a wise man, who built his house upon a rock;

²⁵and the rain descended, and the streams 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 to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand;

²⁷and the rain descended, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell; and great was its fall.

²⁸And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the multitudes were astonished at his teaching.

²⁹For he taught them as having authority, and not as their scribes.

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 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.

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?

¹²Therefore 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.

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.

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.

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

²⁰Wherefore 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 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?

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

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.

²⁸And 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.
