Matthew 7:2-23

2ForG1063 withG1722 the sameG3739 judgmentG2917 you pronounceG2919, you will be judgedG2919, andG2532 withG1722 theG3739 measureG3358 youG3354 use, it will be measuredG3354 to youG4771.

WhyG5101 do you look atG991 theG3588 speckG2595 inG1722 yourG4771 brother’sG80 eyeG3788 butG1161 failG3756 to noticeG2657 the beamG1385 inG1722 yourG4674 own eyeG3788? 4HowG4459 can you sayG2046 toG3588 yourG4771 brotherG80, ‘LetG863 me takeG1544 theG3588 speckG2595 out ofG1537 yourG4771 eyeG3788,’ whileG2532 there is still a beamG1385 inG1722 yourG4771 own eyeG3788? 5You hypocriteG5273! FirstG4412 takeG1544 theG3588 beamG1385 out ofG1537 yourG4771 own eyeG3788, andG2532 thenG5119 you will see clearlyG1227 to removeG1544 theG3588 speckG2595 fromG1537 yourG4771 brother’sG80 eyeG3788.

6Do notG3361 giveG1325 dogsG2965 what isG3588 holyG40; do notG3366 throwG906 yourG4771 pearlsG3135 beforeG1715 swineG5519. If you doG4219G3361, they may trampleG2662 themG846 underG1722 theirG846 feetG4228, andG2532 then turnG4762 and tear you to piecesG4486G4771.

7AskG154, andG2532 it will be givenG1325 to youG4771; seekG2212, andG2532 you will findG2147; knockG2925, andG2532 the door will be openedG455 to youG4771. 8ForG1063 everyoneG3956 who asksG154 receivesG2983; he whoG3588 seeksG2212 findsG2147; andG2532 to him whoG3588 knocksG2925, the door will be openedG455.

WhichG5101G444 ofG1537 youG4771, if hisG3739G3588G846 sonG5207 asks forG154 breadG740, will giveG1929G3361 himG846 a stoneG3037? 10OrG2228 if he asks forG154 a fishG2486, will giveG1929G3361 himG846 a snakeG3789? 11SoG3767 ifG1487 youG4771 who areG1510 evilG4190 know howG1492 to giveG1325 goodG18 giftsG1390 toG3588 yourG4771 childrenG5043, how muchG4214 moreG3123 willG3588 yourG4771 FatherG3962 inG1722 heavenG3772 giveG1325 good thingsG18 to thoseG3588 who askG154 HimG846!

12In everythingG3956G3745G1437, thenG3767, doG4160 to othersG846 asG3779G2532 you would haveG2309 them doG4160G3588G444 to youG4771. ForG1063 thisG3778 isG1510 the essence of theG3588 LawG3551 andG2532 theG3588 ProphetsG4396.

13EnterG1525 throughG1223 theG3588 narrowG4728 gateG4439. ForG3754 wideG4116 is theG3588 gateG4439 andG2532 broadG2149 is theG3588 wayG3598 thatG3588 leadsG520 toG1519 destructionG684, andG2532 manyG4183 enterG1525 throughG1223 itG846. 14ButG3754 smallG4728 is theG3588 gateG4439 andG2532 narrowG2346 theG3588 wayG3598 thatG3588 leadsG520 toG1519 lifeG2222, andG2532 only a fewG3641 findG2147 itG846.

15BewareG4337 ofG575 false prophetsG5578. They comeG2064 toG4314 youG4771 inG1722 sheep’sG4263 clothingG1742, butG1161 inwardlyG2081 they areG1510 ravenousG727 wolvesG3074. 16ByG575 theirG846 fruitG2590 you will recognizeG1921 themG846. Are grapes gatheredG4816G4718 fromG575 thornbushesG173, orG2228 figsG4810 fromG575 thistlesG5146? 17LikewiseG3779, everyG3956 goodG18 treeG1186 bearsG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590, butG1161 a badG4550 treeG1186 bearsG4160 badG4190 fruitG2590. 18A goodG18 treeG1186 cannotG1410G3756 bearG4160 badG4190 fruitG2590, and a badG4550 treeG1186 cannotG3761 bearG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590. 19EveryG3956 treeG1186 that does not bearG3361G4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 is cut downG1581 andG2532 thrownG906 intoG1519 the fireG4442. 20So thenG686, byG575 theirG846 fruitG2590 you will recognizeG1921 themG846.

21NotG3756 everyoneG3956 whoG3588 saysG3004 to MeG1473, ‘LordG2962, LordG2962,’ will enterG1525G1519 theG3588 kingdomG932 ofG3588 heavenG3772, but onlyG235 he whoG3588 doesG4160 theG3588 willG2307 of MyG1473 FatherG3962 inG1722 heavenG3772. 22ManyG4183 will sayG2046 to MeG1473 onG1722 thatG1565 dayG2250, ‘LordG2962, LordG2962, did we not prophesyG4395G3756 inG3588 YourG4674 nameG3686, andG2532 in YourG4674 nameG3686 drive outG1544 demonsG1140 andG2532 performG4160 manyG4183 miraclesG1411?’

ThenG5119 I will tell them plainlyG3670G846, ‘I never knewG1097G3763 youG4771; departG672 fromG575 MeG1473, you workersG2038 of lawlessnessG458!’
