¹Do not judge, that you may not be judged;

²for with whatever verdict you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.

³Now why do you look at the splinter that is in the eye of your brother, and do not notice the beam in your own eye?

⁴Or how will you say to your brother, permit that I may cast out the splinter from your eye, and behold the beam is in your eye?

⁵Stage-actor! Cast out first the beam from your eye, and then you will see clearly to cast out the splinter from the eye of your brother.

⁶Do not give that which is holy to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the pigs, otherwise they will trample upon them with their feet, and having turned they may tear you to pieces.

⁷Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you.

⁸For everyone who is asking receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.

⁹Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will surely not give him a stone?

¹⁰Or also if he asks for a fish, will he surely not give him a serpent?

¹¹Therefore if you yourselves, being evil, know to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in the heavens give good things to those who ask Him?

¹²Therefore all things, as much as you shall desire that men shall enact for you, so also you yourselves enact for them; for this is the law and the prophets.

¹³Enter through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad the way which is leading to the destruction, and many are those who enter through it.

¹⁴For small is the gate and compressed the way which is leading to the life, and few are those who find it.

¹⁵Now beware of the false prophets, who come to you in clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

¹⁶By their fruits you will know them. Surely they do not ever gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?

¹⁷Thus every good tree produces good fruits, but the bad tree produces bad fruits.

¹⁸A good tree is not able to produce bad fruits, nor is a bad tree able to produce good fruits.

¹⁹Every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and is thrown into fire.

²⁰Then surely by their fruits you will know them.

²¹Not everyone who is saying to Me, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in the heavens.

²²Many will say to Me in that very day, Lord, surely in Your name we did prophesy, and in Your name cast out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?

²³And then I will declare to them that I never knew you; depart from Me, you who work lawlessness.

²⁴Therefore everyone whoever hears these My words and does them, he will be like a wise man who built his house upon the rock.

²⁵And the rain came down and the torrents came and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it did not fall; for it had been founded upon the rock.

²⁶And everyone who is hearing these My words and not doing them, he will be likened to a foolish man who built his house upon the sand.

²⁷And the rain came down and the torrents came and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell; and its fall was great.

²⁸And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these words, the crowds were astonished at his teaching;

²⁹for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as their scribes.
