| 1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye
judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be
measured unto you. 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? 4 Or
how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me cast out the mote out of thine eye;
and lo, the beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, cast out first the
beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the
mote out of thy brother's eye.
6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls
before the swine, lest haply they trample them under their feet, and turn and
rend you.
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it
shall be opened unto 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 of you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give
him a stone; 10 or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent?
11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children,
how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them
that ask him? 12 All things therefore whatsoever ye would that men should
do unto you, even so do ye also unto them: for this is the law and the
prophets.
13 Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the
way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby.
14 For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life,
and few are they that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but
inwardly are ravening wolves. 16 By their fruits ye shall know them. Do
men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every
good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil
fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt
tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good
fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits
ye shall know them. 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 who
is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not
prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do
many mighty works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you:
depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24 Every one therefore that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them,
shall be likened unto a wise man, who built his house upon the rock:
25 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and
beat upon that house; and if fell not: for it was founded upon the rock.
26 And every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not,
shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand:
27 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and
smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof.
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, the
multitudes were astonished at his teaching: 29 for he taught them as
one having authority, and not as their scribes.
