Matthew 7:2-23

2For in the wayG2917 you judgeG2919, you will be judgedG2919; and 12by your standardG3358 of measureG3354, it will be measuredG3354 to you. 3WhyG5101 do you 3lookG991 at the 4speckG2595 that is in your brother’sG80 eyeG3788, but do not noticeG2657 the logG1385 that is in your own eyeG3788? 45OrG2228 howG4459 6can you sayG3004 to your brotherG80, ‘LetG863 me takeG1544 the 7speckG2595 outG1544 of your eyeG3788,’ and lookG2400, the logG1385 is in your own eyeG3788? 5You hypocriteG5273, firstG4413 takeG1544 the logG1385 outG1544 of your own eyeG3788, and thenG5119 you will seeG1227 clearlyG1227 to takeG1544 the 8speckG2595 outG1544 of your brother’sG80 eyeG3788!

6“9Do not giveG1325 whatG3588 is holyG40 to dogsG2965, and do not throwG906 your pearlsG3135 beforeG1715 pigsG5519, orG3379 they will trampleG2662 them underG2662 their feetG4228, and turnG4762 and tearG4486 you toG4486 piecesG4486.

7“1011AskG154, and 12it will be givenG1325 to you; 13seekG2212, and you will findG2147; 14knockG2925, and it will be openedG455 to you. 8For everyoneG3956 who asksG154 receivesG2983, and the one who seeksG2212 findsG2147, and to the one who knocksG2925 it will be openedG455. 9OrG2228 whatG5101 personG444 is there amongG1537 you 15whoG3739, whenG3739 his sonG5207 asksG154 for a loafG740 ofG740 breadG740, 16will giveG1929 him a stoneG3037? 10OrG2228 17ifG2532 he asksG154 for a fishG2486, he will not giveG1929 him a snakeG3789, will he? 11SoG3767 ifG1487 you, despite beingG1510 18evilG4190, knowG3609 howG3609 to giveG1325 goodG18 giftsG1390 to your childrenG5043, 19howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 will your FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772 giveG1325 goodG18 thingsG18 to thoseG3588 who askG154 Him!

12“In everythingG3956, 20thereforeG3767, 21treatG4160 peopleG846 the sameG3779 wayG3779 you wantG2309 22themG444 to treatG4160 you, for 23thisG3778 is the LawG3551 and the ProphetsG4396.

13“24EnterG1525 throughG1223 the narrowG4728 gateG4439; for the gateG4439 is wideG4116 and the wayG3598 is broadG2149 that leadsG520 to destructionG684, and thereG1510 are manyG4183 who enterG1525 throughG1223 it. 14For the gateG4439 is narrowG4728 and the wayG3598 is constrictedG2346 that leadsG520 to lifeG2222, and thereG1510 are fewG3641 who findG2147 it.

15“BewareG4337 of the 25falseG5578 prophetsG5578, whoG3748 comeG2064 to you in sheep’sG4263 clothingG1742, but inwardlyG2081 are 26ravenousG727 wolvesG3074. 16You will 2728knowG1921 them by their fruitsG2590. 29GrapesG4718 are not gatheredG4816 from thornG173 bushes, norG2228 figsG4810 from thistlesG5146, are they? 17SoG3779 30everyG3956 goodG18 treeG1186 bearsG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590, but the badG4550 treeG1186 bearsG4160 badG4190 fruitG2590. 18A goodG18 treeG1186 cannotG1410G3756 bearG5342 badG4190 fruitG2590, norG3761 can a badG4550 treeG1186 bearG5342 goodG2570 fruitG2590. 1931EveryG3956 treeG1186 that does not bearG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 is cutG1581 downG1581 and thrownG906 into the fireG4442. 20SoG1065 thenG686, you will 32knowG1921 them 33by their fruitsG2590.

21“34Not everyoneG3956 who saysG3004 to Me, ‘LordG2962, LordG2962,’ will enterG1525 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772, but the one who doesG4160 the willG2307 of My FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772 will enter. 2235ManyG4183 will sayG3004 to Me on 36that dayG2250, ‘LordG2962, LordG2962, did we not prophesyG4395 in Your nameG3686, and in Your nameG3686 castG1544 outG1544 demonsG1140, and in Your nameG3686 performG4160 manyG4183 37miraclesG1411?’ 23And thenG5119 I will declareG3670 to them, ‘I neverG3763 knewG1097 you; 38leaveG672 Me, you who practiceG2038 lawlessnessG458.’
