* Judge not , that ye be not judged . * For with the judgment with which ye judge , ye shall be judged , and with the measure with which ye measure , ye shall be measured again . * And why dost thou behold the mote that is in thy brother 's eye but dost not consider the beam that is in thine own eye ? * Or how wilt thou say to thy brother , Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye ; and , behold , a beam [is ] in thine own eye ? * Thou hypocrite , first cast out the beam out of thine own eye , and then shalt thou be able to see to cast out the mote out of thy brother 's eye . * Give not that which is holy unto the dogs , neither cast ye your pearls before swine , lest they trample them under their feet and turn again and rend you . * Ask , and it shall be given you ; seek , and ye shall find ; knock , and it shall be opened unto you ; * for every one that asks receives , and he that seeks finds , and to him that knocks it shall be opened . * Or what man is there of you , whom , if his son asks [for ] bread , will he give him a stone ? * Or if he asks [for ] fish , will he give him a serpent ? * If ye then , being evil , know how to give good gifts unto your children , how much more shall your Father who is in the heavens give good things to those that ask him ? * Therefore , all things whatsoever ye desire that men should do unto you , so also shall ye do unto them , for this is the law and the prophets . * Enter ye in at the narrow gate , for the way that leads to destruction is wide and spacious , and those who follow it are many ; * because narrow [is ] the gate , and confined [is ] the way which leads unto life , and there are few that find it . * Keep yourselves also from the false prophets , who 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 brings forth good fruit , but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit . * A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit , neither [can ] a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit . * Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire . * So that by their fruits ye shall know them . * Not every one that saith unto me , Lord , Lord , shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens , but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in the heavens . * 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 I will profess unto them , I never knew you ; depart from me , ye that work iniquity . * Therefore , whosoever hears these words of mine and does them , I will liken him unto a prudent man , who built his house upon the rock ; * and the rain descended , and the rivers came , and the winds blew and beat upon that house , and it did not fall , for it was founded upon a rock . * And every one that hears these words of mine and does not do them shall be likened unto a foolish man , who built his house upon the sand ; * and the rain descended , and the rivers 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 words , the multitude marvelled at his doctrine ; * for he taught them as [one ] having authority and not as the scribes .:
