* Judge (note :)We ought to find fault with one another , but we must beware we do not do it without cause , or to seem holier than others or because of hatred of others .(:note ) not , that ye be not judged . * Eor with what iudgement ye iudge , ye shall be iudged , and with what measure ye mete , it shall be measured to you againe . * And why seest thou the mote , that is in thy brothers eye , and perceiuest not the beame that is in thine owne eye ? * Or howe sayest thou to thy brother , Suffer me to cast out the mote out of thine eye , and beholde , a beame is in thine owne eye ? * Hypocrite , first cast out that beame out of thine owne eye , and then shalt thou see clearely to cast out the mote out of thy brothers eye . * * * For whosoeuer asketh , receiueth : and he , that seeketh , findeth : and to him that knocketh , it shall be opened . * For what man is there among you , which if his sonne aske him bread , woulde giue him a stone ? * Or if he aske fish , wil he giue him a serpent ? * If ye then , which are euill , can giue to your children good giftes , howe much more shall your Father which is in heauen , giue good thinges to them that aske him ? * * * Because (note :)The way is straight and narrow : we must pass through this rough way and suffer , endure , be changed and so enter into life .(:note ) strait [is ] the gate , and narrow [is ] the way , which leadeth unto life , and few there be that find it . * * Ye shall know them by their fruites . Doe men gather grapes of thornes ? or figges of thistles ? * So euery good tree bringeth foorth good fruite , &amp ; a corrupt tree bringeth forth euill fruite . * A good tree can not bring forth euil fruite : neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruite . * Euery tree that bringeth not forth good fruite , is hewen downe , and cast into the fire . * Therefore by their fruites ye shall knowe them . * * Many will say to me in that day , Lord , Lord , have we not prophesied in thy (note :)By «name » here is meant mighty working power of God , which every man witnesses that calls upon him .(:note ) name ? and in thy name have cast out devils ? and in thy name done many Properly , powers : Now these excellent works which are done are called powers because of those things which they bring to pass , for by them we understand how mighty the power of God is . wonderful works ? * And then will I profess unto them , (note :)This is not of ignorance , but because he will cast them away .(:note ) I never knew you : depart from me , You that are given to all kinds of wickedness , and seem to make an art of sin . ye that work iniquity . * * And the raine fell , and the floods came , and the windes blewe , and beat vpon that house , and it fell not : for it was grounded on a rocke . * But whosoeuer heareth these my wordes , and doeth them not , shall be likened vnto a foolish man , which hath builded his house vpon the sand : * And the raine fell , and the floods came , and the windes blewe , and beat vpon that house , and it fell , and the fall thereof was great . * And it came to passe , when Iesus had ended these wordes , the people were astonied at his doctrine . * For he taught them as one hauing authoritie , and not as the Scribes .
