Judge not,
that ye be not judged.
02 For with what judgment
ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what
measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you
again.
03 And why beholdest thou
the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but
considerest not the beam that is in thine own
eye?
04 Or how wilt thou say to
thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of
thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own
eye?
05 Thou hypocrite, first
cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then
shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out
of thy brother's eye.
06 Give not that which is
holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls
before swine, lest they trample them under their
feet, and turn again and rend you.
07 Ask, and it shall be
given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it
shall be opened unto you:
08 For every one that
asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth;
and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
09 Or what man is there of
you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him
a stone?
10 Or if he ask a fish,
will he give him a serpent?
11 If ye then, being evil,
know how to give good gifts unto your children,
how much more shall your Father which is in
heaven give good things to them that ask him?
12 Therefore all things
whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do
ye even so to them: for this is the law and the
prophets.
13 Enter ye in at the
strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is
the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many
there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the
gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto
life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false
prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing,
but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16 Ye shall know them by
their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or
figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree
bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree
bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring
forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree
bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth
not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into
the fire.
20 Wherefore by their
fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith
unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom
of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my
Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in
that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in
thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils?
and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess
unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye
that work iniquity.
24 Therefore whosoever
heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I
will liken him unto a wise man, which built his
house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended,
and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat
upon that house; and it fell not: for it was
founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that
heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them
not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which
built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended,
and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat
upon that house; and it fell: and great was the
fall of it.
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus
had ended these sayings, the people were
astonished at his doctrine:
29 For he taught them as one having authority,
and not as the scribes.
