Matthew - Chapter 7 | American Standard Version

  • 1. {cf6 Judge not, that ye be not judged.}
  • 2. {cf6 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you.}
  • 3. {cf6 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. {cf6 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me cast out the mote out of thine eye; and lo, the beam is in thine own eye?}
  • 5. {cf6 Thou hypocrite, cast out first 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. {cf6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before the swine, lest haply they trample them under their feet, and turn and rend you.}
  • 7. {cf6 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:}
  • 8. {cf6 for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.}
  • 9. {cf6 Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone;}
  • 10. {cf6 or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent?}
  • 11. {cf6 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?}
  • 12. {cf6 All things therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, even so do ye also unto them: for this is the law and the prophets.}
  • 13. {cf6 Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby.}
  • 14. {cf6 For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it.}
  • 15. {cf6 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.}
  • 16. {cf6 By their fruits ye shall know them. Do {cf15i men} gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?}
  • 17. {cf6 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.}
  • 18. {cf6 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.}
  • 19. {cf6 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.}
  • 20. {cf6 Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them.}
  • 21. {cf6 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 who is in heaven.}
  • 22. {cf6 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works?}
  • 23. {cf6 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.}
  • 24. {cf6 Every one therefore that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, who built his house upon the rock:}
  • 25. {cf6 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and if fell not: for it was founded upon the rock.}
  • 26. {cf6 And every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand:}
  • 27. {cf6 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof.}
  • 28. And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching:
  • 29. for he taught them as {cf15i one} having authority, and not as their scribes.
