Matthew 7 (WEBP)

[1] “Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged.
[2] For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.
[3] Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?
[4] Or how will you tell your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye,’ and behold, the beam is in your own eye?
[5] You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother’s eye.
[6] “Don’t give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
[7] “Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.
[8] For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
[9] Or who is there among you who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?
[10] Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent?
[11] If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
[12] Therefore, whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets.
[13] “Enter in by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in by it.
[14] How narrow is the gate and the way is restricted that leads to life! There are few who find it.
[15] “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.
[16] By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles?
[17] Even so, every good tree produces good fruit, but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.
[18] A good tree can’t produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
[19] Every tree that doesn’t grow good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
[20] Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
[21] “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
[22] Many will tell me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?’
[23] Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’
[24] “Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on a rock.
[25] The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it didn’t fall, for it was founded on the rock.
[26] Everyone who hears these words of mine and doesn’t do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
[27] The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell—and its fall was great.”
[28] When Jesus had finished saying these things, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,
[29] for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.

Matthew 7 (KJVS)

[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 brother’s 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 brother’s 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 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] 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 .

[2] for in what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged, and in what measure ye measure, it shall be measured to you.
[3] ‘And why dost thou behold the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, and the beam that is in thine own eye dost not consider?
[4] or, how wilt thou say to thy brother, Suffer I may cast out the mote from thine eye, and lo, the beam is in thine own eye?
[5] Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then thou shalt see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
[6] ‘Ye may not give that which is holy to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the swine, that they may not trample them among their feet, and having turned-may rend you.
[7] ‘Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you;
[8] for every one who is asking doth receive, and he who is seeking doth find, and to him who is knocking it shall be opened.
[9] ‘Or what man is of you, of whom, if his son may ask a loaf-a stone will he present to him?
[10] and if a fish he may ask-a serpent will he present to him?
[11] if, therefore, ye being evil, have known good gifts to give to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in the heavens give good things to those asking him?
[12] ‘All things, therefore, whatever ye may will that men may be doing to you, so also do to them, for this is the law and the prophets.
[13] ‘Go ye in through the strait gate, because wide is the gate, and broad the way that is leading to the destruction, and many are those going in through it;
[14] how strait is the gate, and compressed the way that is leading to the life, and few are those finding it!
[15] ‘But, take heed of the false prophets, who come unto you in sheep’s clothing, and inwardly are ravening wolves.
[16] From their fruits ye shall know them; do men gather from thorns grapes? or from thistles figs?
[17] so every good tree doth yield good fruits, but the bad tree doth yield evil fruits.

[19] Every tree not yielding good fruit is cut down and is cast to fire:
[20] therefore from their fruits ye shall know them.
[21] ‘Not every one who is saying to me Lord, lord, shall come into the reign of the heavens; but he who is doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens.

[23] and then I will acknowledge to them, that-I never knew you, depart from me ye who are working lawlessness.
[24] ‘Therefore, every one who doth hear of me these words, and doth do them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house upon the rock;
[25] and the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell not, for it had been founded on the rock.
[26] ‘And every one who is hearing of me these words, and is not doing them, shall be likened to a foolish man who built his house upon the sand;
[27] and the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell, and its fall was great.’
[28] And it came to pass, when Jesus ended these words, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,
[29] for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
