Matthew 7

¹Judge not, that you be not judged.

²For in what judgement you judge, you shall be judged: and in what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.

³And why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye: and the beam that is in thine own eye thou seest not?

⁴Or how sayest thou to thy brother: Let me cast out the mote of thine eye; and behold a beam is in thine own eye?

⁵Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

⁶Give not that which is holy to dogs: neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they tread them with their feet, & turning, all to tear you.

⁷Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find, knock, & it shall be opened to you.

⁸For every one that asketh, receiveth: and that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.

⁹Or what man is there of you, whom if his child shall ask bread, will he reach him a stone?

¹⁰Or if he shall ask him fish, will he reach him a serpent?

¹¹If you then being naught, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will your Father which is in Heaven, give good things to them that ask him?

¹²All things therefore whatsoever you will that men do to you, do you also to them. For this is the Law and the Prophets.

¹³Enter ye by the narrow gate: because broad is the gate, and large is the way that leadeth to perdition, and many there be that enter by it.

¹⁴How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: & few there are that find it!

¹⁵Take ye great heed of false Prophets, which come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly are ravening wolves.

¹⁶By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

¹⁷Even so every good tree yieldeth good fruits, and the evil tree yieldeth evil fruits.

¹⁸A good tree cannot yield evil fruits, neither an evil tree yield good fruits.

¹⁹Every tree that yieldeth not good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into fire.

²⁰Therefore by their fruits you shall know them.

²¹Not every one that sayeth to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father which is in Heaven, he shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

²²Many shall say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and in thy name cast out devils, and in thy name wrought many miracles?

²³And then I will confess unto them, That I never knew you: depart from me you that work iniquity.

²⁴Every one therefore that heareth these words, and doeth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock,

²⁵and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat against that house, and it fell not, for it was founded upon a rock.

²⁶And every one that heareth these my words, and doeth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand.

²⁷and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat against that house, and it fell, & the fall thereof was great.

²⁸And it came to pass, when Jesus had fully ended these words, the multitude were in admiration upon his doctrine.

²⁹For he was teaching them as having power, and not as their Scribes and Pharisees.
