1 Do not judge, that you may not be judged.
2 For, just as you judge others, you will yourselves
be judged, and the measure that you mete will
be meted out to you.
3 And why do you look at the straw in
your brother's eye, while you pay no attention at all to the
beam in yours?
4 How will you say to your brother ‘Let me
take out the straw from your eye,’ when all the time there is
a beam in your own?
5 Hypocrite! Take out the beam from
your own eye first, and then you will see clearly how to take
out the straw from your brother's. ⪆⪆
6 Do not give what
is sacred to dogs; nor yet throw your pearls before pigs,
lest they should trample them under their feet, and then
turn and attack you. ⪆⪆ note
7 Ask, and your prayer shall
be granted; search, and you shall find; knock,
and the door shall be opened to you.
8 For
he that asks receives, he that searches finds,
and to him that knocks the door shall be opened.
9 Who
among you, when his son asks him for a loaf, will give
him a stone,
10 or when he asks for a fish, will give him a
snake?
11 If you, then, wicked though you are, know
how to give good gifts to your children, how much more
will your Father who is in Heaven give what is good to
those that ask him! ⪆⪆ note
12 Do to others whatever
you would wish them to do to you; for that
is the teaching of both the Law and the Prophets.

note
13 Go in by the small gate. Broad and spacious
is the road that leads to destruction, and those
that go in by it are many;
14 for small is the gate, and narrow
the road, that leads to Life, and those that find it are
few.
note
15 Beware of false Teachers—men who come to
you in the guise of sheep, but at heart they
are ravenous wolves.
16 By the fruit of their lives you
will know them. Do people gather grapes from thornbushes,
or figs from thistles?
17 So, too, every sound tree
bears good fruit, while a worthless tree bears bad fruit.
18 A
sound tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a worthless
tree bear good fruit.
19 Every tree that fails to bear good fruit
is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 Hence it is by the
fruit of their lives that you will know such men. ⪆⪆
21 Not
every one who says to me ‘Master! Master!’ will enter the
Kingdom of Heaven, but only he who does the will of my
Father who is in Heaven.
22 On ‘That Day’ many will say to
me ‘Master, Master, was not it in your name that we taught,
and in your name that we drove out demons, and in your
name that we did many miracles?’ note
23 And then I shall say to
them plainly ‘I never knew you. Go from my presence, you
who live in sin.’ note
note
24 Every one, therefore, that listens to this teaching
of mine and acts upon it may be compared to a
prudent man, who built his house upon the rock.
25 The rain
poured down, the rivers rose, the winds blew and beat upon that
house, but it did not fall, for its foundations were upon the
rock. ⪆⪆
26 And every one that listens to this teaching of
mine and does not act upon it may be compared to a foolish
man, who built his house on the sand.
27 The rain poured down,
the rivers rose, the winds blew and struck against that house,
and it fell; and great was its downfall.”
28 By the time that Jesus had finished speaking, the crowd was
filled with amazement at his teaching.
29 For he taught them like
one who had authority, and not like their Teachers of the Law.
