Matthew 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1 Judge not, that ye be not
judged. 2 For with what judgment ye
judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be
measured to you again. 3 And why
beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brothers eye, but considerest
not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or
how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine
eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou
hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt
thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brothers eye. 6 Give
not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before
swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend
you. 7 Ask, and it shall be given
you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and
he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his
son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or
if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If
ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how
much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them
that ask him? 12 Therefore all things
whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for
this is the law and the prophets. 13 Enter
ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is
the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in
thereat: 14 Because strait is
the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few
there be that find it. 15 Beware of false prophets,
which come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly they are ravening
wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by
their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even
so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth
forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree
cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring
forth good fruit. 19 Every tree
that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know
them. 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord,
Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will
of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many
will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy
name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many
wonderful works? 23 And then will I
profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work
iniquity. 24 Therefore whosoever
heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a
wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And
the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon
that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And
every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be
likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And
the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon
that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. 28 And
it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were
astonished at his doctrine: 29 For he taught them as one
having authority, and not as the scribes. Return to Bible Online Return to the Calvinist Corner Copyright by Matthew J. Slick, B.A., M. Div., 1998, 1999,
