Matthew 7:13-27

13Enter in through the narrow gate, for wide the gate and broad the way that leads to destruction, and many are they who enter in through it.

14For narrow the gate and straitened the way that leads to life, and they are few who find it.

15But beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but within are ravening wolves.

16By their fruits ye shall know them. Do [men] gather a bunch of grapes from thorns, or from thistles figs?

17So every good tree produces good fruits, but the worthless tree produces bad fruits.

18A good tree cannot produce bad fruits, nor a worthless tree produce good fruits.

19Every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.

20By their fruits then surely ye shall know them.

21Not every one who says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but he that does the will of my Father who is in the heavens.

22Many shall say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied through thy name, and through thy name cast out demons, and through thy name done many works of power?

23and then will I avow unto them, I never knew you. Depart from me, workers of lawlessness.

24Whoever therefore hears these my words and does them, I will liken him to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock;

25and the rain came down, and the streams came, and the winds blew and fell upon that house, and it did not fall, for it had been founded upon the rock.

26And every one who hears these my words and does not do them, he shall be likened to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand;

27and the rain came down, and the streams came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, and it fell, and its fall was great.
