Matthew 7
1 “Do not judge, that you may not be judged,
Judge not, that ye be not judged; —
2 for in what judgment you judge, you will be judged, and in what measure you measure, it will be measured to you.
For, with what judgment ye judge, shall ye be judged, —and, with what measure ye mete, shall it be measured unto you.
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?
Why, moreover, beholdest thou the mote, in the eye of thy brother, —while, the beam in thine own eye, thou dost not consider?
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?
Or how wilt thou say unto thy brother, Let me cast the mote out of thine eye, —when lo! a beam, is in thine 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.
Hypocrite! cast first, out of thine own eye, the beam, —and, then, shalt thou see clearly to cast the mote, out of the eye of thy brother.
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.
Do not give what is holy unto dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, —lest once they trample, them, down with their feet, and, turning, tear, you.
7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you;
Be asking, and it shall be given you, Be seeking, and ye shall find, —Be knocking, and it shall be opened unto you.
8 for everyone who is asking receives, and he who is seeking finds, and to him who is knocking it will be opened.
For, whosoever asketh, receiveth, and, he that seeketh, findeth, —and, to him that knocketh, shall it be opened.
9 Or what man is of you, of whom, if his son may ask [for] a loaf—a stone will he present to him?
Or what man, from among yourselves, whom his son shall ask for a loaf, —a stone, will give him?
10 And if he may ask [for] a fish—a serpent will he present to him?
Or, a fish also, shall ask, —a serpent, will give him?
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?
If then, ye, being, evil, know how, good gifts, to be giving unto your children, how much more, will, your Father who is in the heavens, give good things to them that ask, 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.
Whatsoever things, therefore, ye would, that men be doing unto you, so, be, ye also, doing, unto 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;
Enter ye in at, the narrow gate; because broad and roomy is the way that leadeth unto destruction, —and, many, are they who enter thereby:
14 how narrow [is] the gate and compressed the way that is leading to life, and few are those finding it!
Because, narrow, is the gate, and, confined, the way, that leadeth unto life, —and, few, are they who find, it.
15 But take heed of the false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, and inwardly are ravenous wolves.
Beware of false prophets, who come unto you in clothing of sheep, —while, within, they are ravening wolves.
16 From their fruits you will know them; do [men] gather grapes from thorns? Or figs from thistles?
By their fruits, shall ye find, them, out, —unless perhaps men gather—from thorns, grapes! or, from thistles, figs!
17 So every good tree yields good fruits, but the bad tree yields evil fruits.
So, every good tree, fine fruit, produceth, —whereas, the worthless tree, evil fruit, produceth:
18 A good tree is not able to yield evil fruits, nor a bad tree to yield good fruits.
It is, impossible, for a, good tree, to be bearing, evil fruit, neither doth, a worthless tree, produce, fine fruit.
19 Every tree not yielding good fruit is cut down and is cast into fire:
Every tree that beareth not fine fruit, is hewn down, and, into fire, is cast.
20 therefore from their fruits you will know them.
After all then, by their fruits, shall ye find, them, out.
21 Not everyone who is saying to Me, Lord, Lord, will come into the kingdom of the heavens, but he who is doing the will of My Father who is in the heavens.
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord! Lord! shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens, —but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in the heavens.
22 Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your Name? And in Your Name cast out demons? And in Your Name done many mighty things?
Many, will say unto me, in, that, day, Lord! Lord! did we not, in thy name, prophesy, and, in thy name, cast, demons, out, —and, in thy name, many works of power, perform?
23 And then I will acknowledge to them, that—I never knew you, depart from Me you who are working lawlessness.
And, then, will I confess unto them, Never, have I acknowledged you, —Depart from me, ye workers of lawlessness!
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;
Every one, therefore, who heareth [these] my words, and doeth them, shall be likened to a prudent man, who built his house upon 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.
And the rain descended, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and rushed against that house, and it fell not; for it had been founded upon the rock.
26 And everyone who is hearing these words of Mine, and is not doing them, will be likened to a foolish man who built his house on the sand;
And every one who heareth these my words, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand;
27 and the rain descended, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell, and its fall was great.”
And the rain descended, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and dashed against that house, and it fell; and, the fall thereof, was, great.
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these words, the multitudes were astonished at His teaching,
And it came to pass, when Jesus ended these words, with astonishment were the multitudes being struck at his teaching;
29 for He was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
for he was teaching them as one having, authority, and not as their Scribes.
