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
|
And 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 out of 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.
