1Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2For with the judgment that ye judge, ye shall be judged; and by the measure that ye measure, shall it be measured to you. 3And why observest thou the straw in thy brother's eye, and regardest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Allow me to pluck the straw from thy eye; and lo! a beam is in thy own eye. 5Thou hypocrite; pluck first the beam from thy own eye; and then thou wilt see clearly, to pluck the straw out of thy brother's eye. 6Give not a holy thing to dogs: and cast not your pearls before swine; lest they tread them under their feet, and turn and lacerate you. 7Ask, and it shall be given to you: seek, and ye shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you. 8For, every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened. 9For what man is there among you, of whom if his son ask bread, will he reach him a stone? 10Or if he ask of him a fish, will he reach him a serpent? 11If ye then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? 12Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you; so also do ye to them: for this is the law and the prophets. 13Enter ye in by the strait gate; for wide is the gate and broad the way which leadeth to destruction; and many are they that walk in it. 14How small the gate and straitened the way that leadeth to life, and few they who find it! 15Beware of false prophets; who come to you in the garb of sheep, but internally they are rapacious wolves. 16And from their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes; or figs from thistles? 17So every good tree beareth good fruits; but a bad tree beareth bad fruits. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruits; nor can a bad tree bear good fruits. 19Every tree that beareth not good fruits, is cut down and consigned to the fire. 20Wherefore, by their fruits ye shall know them. 21Not whoever may say to me, My Lord, my Lord, will enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me in that day, My Lord, my Lord, have-we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name cast out demons? and in thy name wrought many works of power? 23And then will I declare to them; I never knew you. Depart from me, ye doers of evil. 24Every one therefore that heareth these my discourses, and doeth them, will be like to a wise man, one that built his house upon a rock. 25And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew; and they rushed upon that house; and it fell not, for its foundations were laid upon a rock. 26And every one that heareth these my discourses, and doeth them not, will be like a foolish man that built his house upon sand. 27And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew; and they rushed upon that house, and it fell; and great was the ruin of it. 28And so it was, that when Jesus had ended these discourses, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching: 29for he taught them as one having authority; and not as their Scribes and Pharisees.
