Matthew:7:13-29
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Enter ye 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 :
*
Because strait is the gate ,
and narrow is the way ,
which leadeth unto life ,
and few there be that find it .
*
Beware of false prophets ,
which come to you in sheep '
s clothing ,
but inwardly they are ravening wolves .
*
Ye shall know them by their fruits .
Do men gather grapes of thorns ,
or figs of thistles ?
*
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit ;
but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit .
*
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit ,
neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit .
*
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down ,
and cast into the fire .
*
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them .
*
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 which is in heaven .
*
Many will say to me in that day ,
Lord ,
Lord ,
have we not prophesied in thy name ?
and in thy name have cast out devils ?
and in thy name done many wonderful works ?
*
And then will I profess unto them ,
I never knew you :
depart from me ,
ye that work iniquity .
*
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine ,
and doeth them ,
I will liken him unto a wise man ,
which built his house upon a rock :
*
And the rain descended ,
and the floods came ,
and the winds blew ,
and beat upon that house ;
and it fell not :
for it was founded upon a rock .
*
And every one that heareth these sayings of mine ,
and doeth them not ,
shall be likened unto a foolish man ,
which built his house upon the sand :
*
And the 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 .
*
And it came to pass ,
when Jesus had ended these sayings ,
the people were astonished at his doctrine :
*
For he taught them as one having authority ,
and not as the scribes .
