Matthew 7:3-29

Matthew 7:3-29

[3] And  why  beholdest  thou the mote  that is in  brother's  eye,  but  considerest  not  the beam  that is in  thine own  eye?  [4] Or  how  wilt thou say  brother,  Let  me pull out  the mote  eye;  and,  behold,  a beam  is in  eye?  [5] Thou hypocrite,  first  cast out  the beam  out of  eye;  and  then  shalt thou see clearly  to cast out  the mote  out of  brother's  eye.  [6] Give  not  that which  is holy  unto the dogs,  neither  cast  pearls  before  swine,  they trample  them  under  their  feet,  and  turn again  and rend  [7] Ask,  and  it shall be given  seek,  and  ye shall find;  knock,  and  it shall be opened  [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  there of  whom  his  son  ask  bread,  will he give  him  a stone?  [10] Or  he ask  a fish,  will he give  him  a serpent?  [11] If  then,  evil,  know  how to give  good  gifts  children,  how much  more  Father  which  is in  heaven  give  good things  to them that ask  him?  [12] Therefore  all things  ye would  that  men  should do  even  so  to them:  for  this  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  which  go in  thereat:  [14] Because  strait  is the gate,  and  narrow  is the way,  which  leadeth  unto  life,  and  few  that find  it.  [15] Beware  of  false prophets,  which  come  to  in  sheep's  clothing,  but  inwardly  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  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  Lord,  shall enter  into  the kingdom  of heaven;  but  he that doeth  the will  Father  which is in  heaven.  [22] Many  will say  in  that  day,  Lord,  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  depart  from  ye that work  iniquity.  [24] Therefore  whosoever  heareth  sayings  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  sayings  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  the fall  of it.  [28] And  it came to pass,  when  Jesus  sayings,  the people  were astonished  at  his  doctrine:  [29] For  he taught  them  as  one having  authority,  and  not  as  the scribes.
