7:1 Judge not, that ye
be not judged.
7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with
what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
7:3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye,
but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
7:4 Or 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?
7:5 Thou 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.
7:6 Give 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.
7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock,
and it shall be opened unto you:
7:8 For every one that
asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
7:9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he
give him a stone?
7:10 Or if he ask a
fish, will he give him a serpent?
7:11 If 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?
7:12 Therefore 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.
7:13 Enter 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:
7:14 Because strait is
the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of
thorns, or figs of thistles?
7:17 Even so every good
tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a
corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and
cast into the fire.
7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
7:21 Not 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.
7:22 Many 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?
7:23 And then will I
profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth
them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
7:25 And 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.
7:26 And 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:
7:27 And 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.
7:28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished
at his doctrine:
7:29 For he taught them as one having
authority, and not as the scribes.
