# Chapter 7
|
||
1 “Do not judge, so that you won’t be judged.
|
||
2 For you will be judged by the same standard with which you judge others, and you will be measured by the same measure you use.
|
||
3 Why do you look at the splinter in your brother’s eye but don’t notice the beam of wood in your own eye?
|
||
4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the splinter out of your eye,’ and look, there’s a beam of wood in your own eye?
|
||
5 Hypocrite! First take the beam of wood out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to take the splinter out of your brother’s eye.
|
||
6 Don’t give what is holy to dogs or toss your pearls before pigs, or they will trample them under their feet, turn, and tear you to pieces.
|
||
7 “Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you.
|
||
8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
|
||
9 Who among you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?
|
||
10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
|
||
11 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him.
|
||
12 Therefore, whatever you want others to do for you, do also the same for them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
|
||
13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who go through it.
|
||
14 How narrow is the gate and difficult the road that leads to life, and few find it.
|
||
15 “Be on your guard against false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravaging wolves.
|
||
16 You’ll recognize them by their fruit. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes or figs from thistles?
|
||
17 In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit.
|
||
18 A good tree can’t produce bad fruit; neither can a bad tree produce good fruit.
|
||
19 Every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
|
||
20 So you’ll recognize them by their fruit.
|
||
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.
|
||
22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, drive out demons in your name, and do many miracles in your name?’
|
||
23 Then I will announce to them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you lawbreakers!’
|
||
24 “Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
|
||
25 The rain fell, the rivers rose, and the winds blew and pounded that house. Yet it didn’t collapse, because its foundation was on the rock.
|
||
26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and doesn’t act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
|
||
27 The rain fell, the rivers rose, the winds blew and pounded that house, and it collapsed. It collapsed with a great crash.”
|
||
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were astonished at his teaching,
|
||
29 because he was teaching them like one who had authority, and not like their scribes. |
