7:11 If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him.
7:12 “Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the law and the prophets.
7:13 “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many.
7:14 How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life. And those who find it are few.
7:15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but underneath are ravenous wolves.
7:16 By their fruits you will know them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
7:17 Just so, every good tree bears good fruit, and a rotten tree bears bad fruit.
7:18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a rotten tree bear good fruit.
7:19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.
7:22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?’
7:23 Then I will declare to them solemnly, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you evildoers.’
7:24 “Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.
7:25 The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock.
7:26 And everyone who listens to these words of mine but does not act on them will be like a fool who built his house on sand.
7:27 The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. And it collapsed and was completely ruined.”
7:28 When Jesus finished these words, the crowds were astonished at his teaching,
7:29 for he taught them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.
