1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For as ye judge, so shall ye be judged: and with what measure ye mete, with the same shall it be measured to you again.
3 Why seest thou a mote in thy brother's eye, and perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or why sayest thou to thy brother, 'Suffer me to pluck out the mote out of thine eye'; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye.
5 "Hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to pluck out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6 Give not that which is holy to dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they tread them under their feet, and the other turn again and all to 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 whosoever asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9 Is there any man among you which, if his son asked him bread, would offer him a stone?
10 Or if he asked fish, would he proffer him a serpent?
11 If ye then, which are evil, can give to your children good gifts, how much more shall your father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask of him?
12 "Therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, even so do ye to them: this is the law and the prophets.
13 Enter 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 But 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 bad fruit: nor yet a bad tree can bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit shall be hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 "Not all they that say unto me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter in to the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth my father's will which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not in thy name prophesied? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name have done many miracles?'
23 And then will I knowledge unto them, that I never knew them: 'Depart from me, ye workers of iniquity.'
24 "Whosoever heareth of me these sayings, and doeth the same, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house on a rock:
25 And abundance of rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that same house, and it fell not: because it was grounded on the rock.
26 And whosoever heareth of me these sayings, and doeth them not the same, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And abundance of 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, that when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
29 For he taught them as one having power, and not as the scribes.
