Matthew  


7 : 1 Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
7 : 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
7 : 3 Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother`s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
7 : 4 How can you say to your brother, `Let me take the speck out of your eye,` when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?
7 : 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother`s eye.
7 : 6 Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.
7 : 7 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
7 : 8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
7 : 9 Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
7 : 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
7 : 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
7 : 12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
7 : 13 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
7 : 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
7 : 15 Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep`s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
7 : 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
7 : 17 Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
7 : 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
7 : 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
7 : 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
7 : 21 Not everyone who says to me, `Lord, Lord,` will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
7 : 22 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?`
7 : 23 Then I will tell them plainly, `I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!`
7 : 24 Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
7 : 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.
7 : 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
7 : 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."
7 : 28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching,
7 : 29 because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.
