The Good News According to Mattityahu, Chapter 7
{7:1} "Don't judge, so that you won't be judged. {7:2} For with
whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever
measure you measure, it will be measured to you. {7:3} 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? {7:4} Or how will you tell your brother, 'Let
me remove the speck from your eye;' and behold, the beam is in your
own eye? {7:5} 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.
{7:6} "Don't give that which is holy to the dogs, neither cast your
pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their
feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
{7:7} "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find.
Knock, and it will be opened to you. {7:8} For everyone who asks
receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
{7:9} Or what man is there of you, who, if his son asks him for bread,
will give him a stone? {7:10} Or if he asks for a fish, who will give
him a serpent? {7:11} 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! {7:12} Therefore
whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them;
for this is the law and the prophets.
{7:13} "Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate, and broad
is the way, that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in
by it. {7:14} How narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that
leads to life! Few are those who find it.
{7:15} "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. {7:16} By their fruits you
will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from
thistles? {7:17} Even so, every good tree brings forth good fruit; but
the corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit. {7:18} A good tree can't
bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good
fruit. {7:19} Every tree that doesn't grow good fruit is cut down, and
thrown into the fire. {7:20} Therefore, by their fruits you will know
them. {7:21} 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. {7:22} Many will tell me in that day, 'Lord, Lord,
didn't we prophesy by your name, by your name cast out demons, and by
your name do many mighty works?' {7:23} Then I will tell them, 'I
never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.'
{7:24} "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.{7:25} 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. {7:26} 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.
{7:27} The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and
beat on that house; and it fell -- and great was its fall."
{7:28} It happened, when Yeshua had finished saying these things,
that the multitudes were astonished at his teaching, {7:29} for he
taught them with authority, and not like the [1>]Sofrim[<1].
