Matthew 7

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