ⲁ̅⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣϯϩⲁⲡ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙϯϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ.

3 And why do you behold the speck that [is] in your brother’s eye, and do not consider the beam that [is] in your own eye?

4 Or, how will you say to your brother, Permit [that] I may cast out the speck from your eye, and behold, the beam [is] in your own eye?

5 Hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to cast out the speck out of your brother’s eye.

6 You may not give that which is [holy] to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the pigs, that they may not trample them among their feet, and having turned—may tear you apart.

11 If, therefore, you being evil, have known to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who [is] in the heavens give good things to those asking Him?

12 All things, therefore, whatever you may will that men may be doing to you, so also do to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

13 Go in through the narrow gate, because wide [is] the gate and broad the way that is leading to the destruction, and many are those going in through it;

15 But take heed of the false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, and inwardly are ravenous wolves.

17 So every good tree yields good fruits, but the bad tree yields evil fruits.

18 A good tree is not able to yield evil fruits, nor a bad tree to yield good fruits.

24 Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock;

25 and the rain descended, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.
