7:1  "Do not judge, so that you won't be judged.
7:2  For with the judgment you use, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
7:3  Why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye but don't notice the log in your own eye?
7:4  Or how can you say to your brother, Let me take the speck out of your eye,' and look, there's a log in your eye?
7:5  Hypocrite! First take the log out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
7:6  Don't give what is holy to dogs or toss your pearls before pigs, or they will trample them with their feet, turn, and tear you to pieces.
7:7  "Keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you.
7:8  For everyone who asks receives, and the one who searches finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
7:9  What man among you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?
7:10  Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
7:11  If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
7:12  Therefore, whatever you want others to do for you, do also the same for them--this is the Law and the Prophets.
7:13  "Enter through the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the road is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who go through it.
7:14  How narrow is the gate and difficult the road that leads to life, and few find it.
7:15  "Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravaging wolves.
7:16  You'll recognize them by their fruit. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes or figs from thistles?
7:17  In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit.
7:18  A good tree can't produce bad fruit; neither can a bad tree produce good fruit.
7:19  Every tree that doesn't produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
7:20  So you'll recognize them by their fruit.
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  On that day many will say to Me, Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in Your name, drive out demons in Your name, and do many miracles in Your name?'
7:23  Then I will announce to them, I never knew you! Depart from Me, you lawbreakers!'
7:24  "Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them will be like a sensible man who built his house on the rock.
7:25  The rain fell, the rivers rose, and the winds blew and pounded that house. Yet it didn't collapse, because its foundation was on the rock.
7:26  But everyone who hears these words of Mine and doesn't act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
7:27  The rain fell, the rivers rose, the winds blew and pounded that house, and it collapsed. And its collapse was great!"
7:28  When Jesus had finished this sermon, the crowds were astonished at His teaching,
7:29  because He was teaching them like one who had authority, and not like their scribes.
