Matthew:7

Seeker Overlay ON

* Judge not , that you may not be judged . * For with whatever judgment you judge , you shall be judged ; and with whatever measure you measure out , it shall be measured to you again . * And why do you look on the splinter that is in your brother 's eye , but do not consider the beam that is in your own eye ? * Or how will you say to your brother , Let me pull the splinter out of your eye ; and , behold , a beam [is ] in your own eye ? * Hypocrite ! First cast the beam out of your own eye , and then you shall see clearly to cast the splinter out of your brother 's eye . * Do not give that which [is ] holy to the dogs ; nor cast your pearls before swine , lest they trample them under their feet and turn again and tear you . * Ask and it shall be given to you ; seek and you shall find ; knock and it shall be opened to you . * For each one who asks receives ; and he who seeks finds ; and to him who knocks , it shall be opened . * Or what man is there of you , if his son asks a loaf , will he give him a stone ? * Or if he asks a fish , will he give him a snake ? * If you then , being evil , know how to give good gifts to your children , how much more shall your Father in Heaven give good things to those who ask Him ? * Therefore all things , whatever you desire that men should do to you , do even so to them ; for this is the Law and the Prophets . * Go in through the narrow gate , for wide [is ] the gate and broad [is ] the way that leads to destruction , and many there are who go in through it . * Because narrow [is ] the gate and constricted [is ] the way which leads to life , and there are few who find it . * Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep 's clothing , but inwardly they are ravening wolves . * You shall know them by their fruits . Do men gather grapes from thorns , or figs from 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 fruits , nor [can ] a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit . * Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire . * Therefore by their fruits you shall know them . * Not everyone who says to Me , Lord ! Lord ! shall enter the kingdom of Heaven , but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven . * Many will say to Me in that day , Lord ! Lord ! Did we not prophesy in Your name , and through Your name throw out demons , and through Your name do many wonderful works ? * And then I will say to them I never knew you ! Depart from Me , those working lawlessness ! * Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine , and does them , I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on a rock . * And the rain came down , and the floods came , and the winds blew and beat on that house . And it did not fall , for it was founded on a rock . * And everyone who hears these sayings of Mine and does not do them shall be compared to a foolish man who built his house on the sand . * And the rain came down , and the floods came , and the wind blew and beat on that house . And it fell , and great was its fall . * And it happened , when Jesus had ended these sayings , that the people were astonished at His doctrine . * For He taught them as [one ] having authority , and not as the scribes .
