Bible. Matthew
40:007:005 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye;
and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of
thy brother's eye.
40:007:006 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.
40:007:007 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
40:007:008 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh
findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
40:007:009 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will
he give him a stone?
40:007:010 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
40:007:011 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your
children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven
give good things to them that ask him?
40:007:012 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to
you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the
prophets.
40:007:013 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:
40:007:014 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which
leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
40:007:015 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
40:007:016 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of
thorns, or figs of thistles?
40:007:017 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a
corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
40:007:018 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a
corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
40:007:019 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down,
and cast into the fire.
40:007:020 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
40:007:021 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.
40:007:022 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?
40:007:023 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart
from me, ye that work iniquity.
40:007:024 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:
40:007:025 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.
