1.^aJudge not, that ye be not judged.

2.For with what *judgment ye judge, ye shalbe judged, and with what *measure ye mete, it shalbe measured to you again.

3.And why seest thou the mote, that is in thy brother’s eye, and perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4.*Or how saist thou to thy brother, Suffer me to cast out the mote out of thine eye, and behold a beam is in thine own eye?

5.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 brother’s eye.

6.¶ ^bGive ye not that which is holie, to dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they tread them under their feet, and turning again, all to rent you.

7.¶ *Ask, and it shalbe given you: seek, and ye shall find: knock, and it shalbe opened unto you.

8.For whosoever asketh, receiveth: and he, that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shalbe opened.

9.For what man is there among you, which if his son ask him bread, would give him a stone?

10.Or if he ask fish, will he give him a serpent?

11.If ye then, which are evil, can give to your children good gifts, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven, give good things to them that ask him?

12.*Therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, even so do ye to them: for this is the ^cLaw and the Prophets.

13.¶ *^dEnter in at the streicte gate: for it is the wide gate, and broad ^eway that leadeth to destruction: and many there be which go in thereat,

14.Because the gate is streicte, and the way narrow that leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

15.¶ Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s 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.So every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and a ^corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18.A good tree can not 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.Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

21.¶ Not every one that saieth unto me, ^fLord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, *but he that doeth my Father’s will which is in heaven.

22.Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not ^gby thy Name prophesied? and by thy Name cast out devils? and by thy Name done many ^great works?

23.And then will I profess to them, ^h*I never knew you: *depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

24.Whosoever then heareth of me these words, *and doeth the same, I will liken him to a wise man, which hath builded his house on a rock:

25.And the rain fell, & the floods came, and the winds blew, & beat upon that house, & it fell not: for it was grounded on a rock.

26.But whosoever heareth these my words, and doeth them not, shalbe likened unto a foolish man, which hath builded his house upon the sand:

27.And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, & it fell, and the fall thereof was great.

28.¶ *And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these words, the people were astonied at his doctrine.

29.For he taught them as one having ⁱauthority, and not as the Scribes.

Matthew 7
