CHAPTER 7

Do not

judge,

or

you will be judged.

For

with

the same

judgment

you pronounce,

you will be judged;

and

with

the

measure

you use,

it will be measured

to you.

Why

do you look at

the

speck

in

your

brother’s

eye,

but

fail

to notice

the beam

in

your own

eye?

How

can you say

to

your

brother,

‘Let

me take

the

speck

out of

your

eye,’

while

there is still

a beam

in

your

own

eye?

You hypocrite!

First

take

the

beam

out of

your own

eye,

and

then

you will see clearly

to remove

the

speck

from

your

brother’s

eye.

Do not

give

dogs

what is

holy;

do not

throw

your

pearls

before

swine.

If you do,

they may trample

them

under

their

feet,

and

then turn and

tear you to pieces.

Ask

and

it will be given

to you;

seek

and

you will find;

knock

and

the door will be opened

to you.

For

everyone

who asks

receives;

he who

seeks

finds;

and

to him who

knocks,

the door will be opened.

Which

of

you,

if his

son

asks for

bread,

will give

him

a stone?

Or

if

he asks for

a fish,

will give

him

a snake?

So

if

you

who are

evil

know how

to give

good

gifts

to

your

children,

how much

more

will

your

Father

in

heaven

give

good things

to those

who ask

Him!

In everything,

then,

do

to others

as

you would have

them do

to you.

For

this

is the essence of

the

Law

and

the

prophets.

Enter

through

the

narrow

gate.

For

wide is

the

gate

and

broad is

the

way

that

leads

to

destruction,

and

many

enter

through

it.

But

small is

the

gate

and

narrow

the

way

that

leads

to

life,

and

only a few

find

it.

Beware

of

false prophets.

They

come

to

you

in

sheep’s

clothing,

but

inwardly

they are

ravenous

wolves.

By

their

fruit

you will recognize

them.

Are grapes gathered

from

thornbushes,

or

figs

from

thistles?

Likewise,

every

good

tree

bears

good

fruit,

but

a bad

tree

bears

bad

fruit.

A good

tree

cannot

bear

bad

fruit,

and a bad

tree

cannot

bear

good

fruit.

Every

tree

that does not bear

good

fruit

is cut down

and

thrown

into

the fire.

So then,

by

their

fruit

you will recognize

them.

Not

everyone

who

says

to Me,

‘Lord,

Lord,’

will enter

the

kingdom

of

heaven,

but only

he who

does

the

will

of My

Father

in

heaven.

Many

will say

to Me

on

that

day,

‘Lord,

Lord,

did we not prophesy

in

Your

name,

and

in

Your

name

drive out

demons

and

perform

many

miracles?'

Then

I will tell them plainly,

‘I never knew

you;

depart

from

Me,

you

workers

of lawlessness!’

Therefore

everyone

who

hears

these

words

of Mine

and

acts on

them

is like

a wise

man

who

built

his

house

on

the

rock.

The

rain

fell,

the

torrents

raged,

and

the

winds

blew

and

beat against

that

house;

yet

it did not fall,

because

its foundation was

on

the

rock.

But

everyone

who

hears

these

words

of Mine

and

does not act on

them

is like

a foolish

man

who

built

his

house

on

sand.

The

rain

fell,

the

torrents

raged,

and

the

winds

blew

and

beat against

that

house,

and

it fell—

and

great

was

its

collapse!"

When

Jesus

had finished

saying

these things,

the

crowds

were amazed

at

His

teaching,

because

He

taught

as one

who had

authority,

and

not

as

their

scribes.
