1. Judge not, that you be not judged.
2. For with the judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with the measure you use, it shall be measured to you again.
3. And why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not consider the board that is in your own eye?
4. Or how will you say to your brother, Let me pull out the speck out of your eye; and, behold, a board is in your own eye?
5. You hypocrite, first take out the board out of your own eye; and then shall you see clearly to take out the speck out of your brother's eye.
6. Do not give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before swine, so that they do not trample them under their feet, and turn again and tear you.
7. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8. For every one who asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks it shall be opened.
9. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son asks for bread, will he give him a stone?
10. Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11. If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him?
12. Therefore whatever things you would like for men to do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
13. Enter in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many there are who go in through it:
14. Because the gate is not wide, and the way is not broad, that leads to life, and few there are who find it.
15. Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are voracious wolves.
16. You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
17. Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings 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 does not bring forth good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.
20. Therefore by their fruits you shall know them.
21. Not every one who says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
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?
23. And then will I declare to them, I never knew you: depart from me, you who work iniquity.
24. Therefore whoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will compare him to a wise man, who built his house upon a rock:
25. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it did not fall: for it was founded upon a rock.
26. And every one who hears these sayings of mine, and does not do them, shall be compared to a foolish man, who built his house on the sand:
27. And the rain fell, 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 teaching:
29. For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
