7Matthew 7

1“Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged.Select Matthew 7:1

2For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.Select Matthew 7:2

3Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?Select Matthew 7:3

4Or how will you tell your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye;’ and behold, the beam is in your own eye?Select Matthew 7:4

5You 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.Select Matthew 7:5

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.Select Matthew 7:6

7“Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.Select Matthew 7:7

8For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.Select Matthew 7:8

9Or who is there among you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?Select Matthew 7:9

10Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent?Select Matthew 7:10

11If 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!Select Matthew 7:11

12Therefore whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets.Select Matthew 7:12

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.Select Matthew 7:13

14Hownarrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it.Select Matthew 7:14

15“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.Select Matthew 7:15

16By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?Select Matthew 7:16

17Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.Select Matthew 7:17

18A good tree can’t produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.Select Matthew 7:18

19Every tree that doesn’t grow good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.Select Matthew 7:19

20Therefore by their fruits you will know them.Select Matthew 7:20

21Not 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.Select Matthew 7:21

22Many 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?’Select Matthew 7:22

23Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’Select Matthew 7:23

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.Select Matthew 7:24

25The 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.Select Matthew 7:25

26Everyone who hears these words of mine, and doesn’t do them will be like a foolish man, who built his house on the sand.Select Matthew 7:26

27The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.”Select Matthew 7:27

28When Jesus had finished saying these things, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,Select Matthew 7:28

29for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.Select Matthew 7:29
