Matthew
Chapter 7

7:1 Do not judge, that* you* might not be judged!

7:2 For* in what judgment you* judge, you* will be judged and in what measure you* measure, it will be measured again to you*.

7:3 And why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not consider the beam that is in your own eye?

7:4 Or how will you say to your brother, Allow me, that I may cast out the speck from your eye, and behold, the beam that is in your own eye?

7:5 You hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see precisely to cast out the speck from your brother's eye.


7:6 Do not give what is holy to the dogs, nor cast your* pearls in front of the swine, lest they might trample them down with their feet and turn and might rip at you*.


7:7 Ask and it will be given to you*; seek and you* will find; knock and it will be opened to you*.

7:8 For* everyone who is asking, receives; and the one who is seeking, finds; and to the one who is knocking, it will be opened.

7:9 Or what man is there out of you*, who, if his son asks him for a loaf he will not give him a stone, will he?

7:10 Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a serpent, will he?

7:11 Therefore if you*, being evil, know how to give good presents to your* children, how much more will your* Father who is in the heavens give good things to those who ask him?
{Mt 7:12 & Lk 6:31.}


7:12 Therefore, as many things as you* might wish that* men should do for you*, so do also to them; for* this is the law and the prophets.
{Mt 7:13-23 & Lk 6:43-45.}


7:13 Enter in through the narrow gate, because wide is the gate and broad is the way, which leads to destruction and there are many who enter through it.

7:14 O how narrow is the gate and pressed is the way, which is leading to life and few are those who find it.


7:15 But take-heed of false prophets, who are coming to you* in sheep's clothing, but inside are ravenous wolves.

7:16 You* will fully know them from their fruits. They do not collect grapes from thorns or figs from thistles, do they?

7:17 Thus every good tree produces good fruit, but the rotten tree produces evil fruit.

7:18 A good tree is not able to produce evil fruit, nor can a rotten tree produce good fruit.

7:19 Every tree which does not produce good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.

7:20 Consequently, you* will fully know them from their fruits.

7:21 Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he who is practicing the will of my Father who is in the heavens.

7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and cast out demons in your name and do many miracles in your name?

7:23 And then I will confess to them, I never* knew you*. Depart from me, you* who work lawlessness.
{Mt 7:24-29 & Lk 6:46-49.}


7:24 Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and practices them, he will be similar to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock;

7:25 and the rain came down and the rivers came up and the winds blew and fell down upon that house, and it did not fall; for* it had been founded upon the rock.

7:26 And everyone hearing these words of mine and who is not doing them, will be similar to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand;

7:27 and the rain came down and the rivers came up and the winds blew and hit that house and it fell and great was its fall.


7:28 And it happened, when Jesus had finished with these words, the crowds were being astounded at his teaching;

7:29 for* he is teaching them like one having authority and not like the scribes.
{Mt 8:1, 5-13 & Lk 7:1-10 Capernaum.}
