Matthew 7:7-29
7AskG154, andG2532 it shall be givenG1325 youG4771; seekG2212, andG2532 ye shall findG2147; knockG2925, andG2532 it shall be openedG455 unto youG4771: 8ForG1063 everyG3956 one that askethG154 receivethG2983; andG2532 he that seekethG2212 findethG2147; andG2532 to him that knockethG2925 it shall be openedG455. 9OrG2228 whatG5101 manG444 is thereG1510 ofG1537 youG4771, whomG3739 ifG1437 hisG846 sonG3588G5207 askG154 breadG740, will he giveG1929 himG846 a stoneG3037? 10OrG2532 ifG1437 he askG154 a fishG2486, will he giveG1929 himG846 a serpentG3789? 11IfG1487 yeG4771 thenG3767, beingG1510 evilG4190, know howG1492 to giveG1325 goodG18 giftsG1390 untoG3588G5043 yourG4771 childrenG3588G5043, how muchG4214 moreG3123 shallG1325 yourG4771 FatherG3588G3962 which isG3588 inG1722 heavenG3588G3772 giveG1325 good thingsG18 to them thatG3588 askG154 himG846? 12ThereforeG3767 all thingsG3956 whatsoeverG3745 ye wouldG2309 thatG2443 menG3588G444 should doG4160 to youG4771, doG4160 yeG4771 evenG3779 soG2532 to themG846: forG1063 thisG3778 isG1510 the lawG3588G3551 andG2532 the prophetsG3588G4396.
13Enter yeG1525 in atG1223 the straitG3588G4728 gateG4439: forG3754 wideG4116 is the gateG3588G4439, andG2532 broadG2149 is the wayG3588G3598, that leadethG3588G520 toG1519 destructionG3588G684, andG2532 manyG4183 there beG1510 which go inG3588G1525 thereatG1223G846: 14BecauseG3754 straitG4728 is the gateG3588G4439, andG2532 narrowG2346 is the wayG3588G3598, which leadethG3588G520 untoG1519 lifeG3588G2222, andG2532 fewG3641 there beG1510 that findG3588G2147 itG846.
15BewareG4337 ofG575 false prophetsG3588G5578, whichG3748 comeG2064 toG4314 youG4771 inG1722 sheep’sG4263 clothingG1742, butG1161 inwardlyG2081 they areG1510 raveningG727 wolvesG3074. 16Ye shall knowG1921 themG846 byG575 theirG846 fruitsG3588G2590. DoG3385 men gatherG4816 grapesG4718 ofG575 thornsG173, orG2228 figsG4810 ofG575 thistlesG5146? 17Even soG3779 everyG3956 goodG18 treeG1186 bringeth forthG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590; butG1161 a corruptG4550 treeG1186 bringeth forthG4160 evilG4190 fruitG2590. 18A goodG18 treeG1186 cannotG1410 bring forthG4160 evilG4190 fruitG2590, neitherG3761 can a corruptG4550 treeG1186 bring forthG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590. 19EveryG3956 treeG1186 that bringethG4160 notG3361 forthG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 is hewn downG1581, andG2532 castG906 intoG1519 the fireG4442. 20WhereforeG686G1065 byG575 theirG846 fruitsG3588G2590 ye shall knowG1921 themG846. 21
NotG3756 everyG3956 one that saithG3004 unto meG1473, LordG2962, LordG2962, shall enterG1525 intoG1519 the kingdomG3588G932 of heavenG3588G3772; butG235 he that doethG4160 the willG3588G2307 of myG1473 FatherG3588G3962 which is inG1722 heavenG3772. 22ManyG4183 will sayG2046 to meG1473 inG1722 thatG1565 dayG3588G2250, LordG2962, LordG2962, have weG4395 notG3756 prophesiedG4395 inG3686 thyG4674 nameG3686? andG2532 inG3686 thyG4674 nameG3686 have cast outG1544 devilsG1140? andG2532 inG3686 thyG4674 nameG3686 doneG4160 manyG4183 wonderful worksG1411? 23AndG2532 thenG5119 will I professG3670 unto themG846, IG1097 neverG3763 knewG1097 youG4771: departG672 fromG575 meG1473, ye that workG2038 iniquityG3588G458.
24ThereforeG3767 whosoeverG3956G3748 hearethG191 theseG3778 sayingsG3588G3056 of mineG1473, andG2532 doethG4160 themG846, I will likenG3666 himG846 unto aG435 wiseG5429 manG435, whichG3748 builtG3618 hisG846 houseG3588G3614 uponG1909 a rockG3588G4073: 25AndG2532 the rainG3588G1028 descendedG2597, andG2532 the floodsG3588G4215 cameG2064, andG2532 the windsG3588G417 blewG4154, andG2532 beat uponG4363 thatG1565 houseG3588G3614; andG2532 it fellG4098 notG3756: forG1063 it was foundedG2311 uponG1909 a rockG3588G4073. 26AndG2532 everyG3956 one that hearethG191 theseG3778 sayingsG3588G3056 of mineG1473, andG2532 doethG4160 themG846 notG3361, shall be likenedG3666 unto aG435 foolishG3474 manG435, whichG3748 builtG3618 hisG846 houseG3588G3614 uponG1909 the sandG3588G285: 27AndG2532 the rainG3588G1028 descendedG2597, andG2532 the floodsG3588G4215 cameG2064, andG2532 the windsG3588G417 blewG4154, andG2532 beat uponG4350 thatG1565 houseG3588G3614; andG2532 it fellG4098: andG2532 greatG3173 wasG1510 the fallG3588G4431 of itG846. 28AndG2532 it came to passG1096, whenG3753 JesusG3588G2424 had endedG4931 theseG3778 sayingsG3588G3056, the peopleG3588G3793 were astonishedG1605 atG1909 hisG846 doctrineG3588G1322: 29ForG1063 heG1510 taughtG1321 themG846 asG5613 one havingG2192 authorityG1849, andG2532 notG3756 asG5613 the scribesG3588G1122.
