Matthew 7
1 “Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged.
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with whatever judgement you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.
For with what judgment ye judge, ye will be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it will be measured to you.
3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?
And why dost thou look at the mote that is in thy brother's eye, and not perceive the beam in thine own eye?
4 Or how will you tell your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye,’ and behold, the beam is in your own eye?
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me take the mote out of thine eye; when, lo! the beam is in thine own eye?
5 You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother’s eye.
Hypocrite! first cast the beam out of thine own eye; and then wilt thou see clearly to take the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6 “Don’t give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
Give not that which is holy to dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine; lest they trample them under their feet, and turn upon you and rend you.
7 “Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.
Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and ye will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
8 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, the door will be opened.
9 Or who is there amongst you who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?
Or what man is there of you, who, if his son ask for bread, will give him a stone?
10 Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent?
or, if he ask for a fish, will give 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 those who ask him!
If ye then, though 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 Therefore, whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the Torah and the Prophets.
All things, then, whatever ye would that men should do to you, do ye also so to them; for this is the Law and the Prophets.
13 “Enter in by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in by it.
Enter in at the strait gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction; and many are they who go in thereat.
14 How narrow is the gate and the way is restricted that leads to life! There are few who find it.
For strait is the gate, and narrow the way, that leadeth to life; and few are they who find it.
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.
Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.
16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles?
Ye may know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit, but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.
So every good tree beareth good fruit; but a bad tree beareth bad fruit.
18 A good tree can’t produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor call a bad tree bear good fruit.
19 Every tree that doesn’t grow good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Every tree that beareth not good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.
20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
So then ye may know them by their fruits.
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 Many will tell me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?’
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in thy name, and in thy name cast out demons, and in thy name work many miracles?
23 Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’
And then will I declare to them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24 “Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on a rock.
Every one then that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened to a wise man, who built his house upon a rock;
25 The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it didn’t fall, for it was founded on the rock.
and the rain descended, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not; for it was founded upon a rock.
26 Everyone who hears these words of mine and doesn’t do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand;
27 The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell—and its fall was great.”
and the rain descended, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell; and great was its fall.
28 When Yeshua had finished saying these things, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,
And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the multitudes were astonished at his teaching.
29 for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.
For he taught them as having authority, and not as their scribes.
