Chapter 7

1


 

  Judge not, that you may not be judged,  

 

 

--

2


 

  For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.  

 

 

--

3


 

  Any why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye; and seest not the beam that is in thy own eye?  

 

 

--

4


 

  Or how sayest thou to thy brother: Let me cast the mote out of thy eye; and behold a beam is in thy own eye?  

 

 

--

5


 

  Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam in thy own eye, and then shalt thou see to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.  

 

 

--

6


 

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

 

 

--

7


 

  Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you.  

 

 

--

8


 

  For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.  

 

 

--

9


 

  Or what man is there among you, of whom if his son shall ask bread, will he reach him a stone?  

 

 

--

10


 

  Or if he shall ask him a fish, will he reach him a serpent?  

 

 

--

11


 

  If you then being 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?  

 

 

--

12


 

  All things therefore whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you also to them. For this is the law and the prophets.  

 

 

--

13


 

  Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat.  

 

 

--

14


 

  How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it!  

 

 

--

15


 

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

 

 

--

16


 

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

 

 

--

17


 

  Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit.  

 

 

--

18


 

  A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit.  

 

 

--

19


 

  Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire.  

 

 

--

20


 

  Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.  

 

 

--

21


 

  Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.  

 

 

--

22


 

  Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name?  

 

 

--

23


 

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

 

 

--

24


 

  Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock,  

 

 

--

25


 

  And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock.  

 

 

--

26


 

  And every one that heareth these my words, and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand,  

 

 

--

27


 

  And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof.  

 

 

--

28


 

  And it came to pass when Jesus had fully ended these words, the people were in admiration at his doctrine.  

 

 

--

29


 

  For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes and Pharisees.
