Judge not lest ye be judged. For as ye judge, so shall ye be judged.
And with what measure ye mete, with the same shall it be measured to
you again. Why seest thou a mote in thy brother's eye, and perceivest
not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or why sayest thou to thy
brother: suffer me to pluck out a mote out of thine eye, and behold a
beam is in thine own eye. Hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of
thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pluck out the mote
out of thy brother's eye.
Give not that which is holy to dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before
swine, lest they tread them under their feet, and the other turn again
and all to rent you.
Ask and it shall be given you: Seek and ye shall find, knock and it
shall be opened unto you. For whosoever asketh receiveth, and he that
seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened. Is there
any man among you which would proffer his son a stone if he asked him
bread? Or if he asked fish, would he proffer him a serpent? If ye then
which are evil, can give to your children good gifts: how much more
shall your father, which is in heaven, give good things, to them that
ask of him?
Therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, even so do ye
to them. This is the law and the prophets.
Enter 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.
For strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life:
and few there be, that find it.
Beware of false prophets, which 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 briars? Even so every good
tree, bringeth forth good fruit. But a corrupt tree, bringeth forth
evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth bad fruite: nor yet a bad
tree can bring forth good fruit. Every tree, that bringeth not forth
good fruit, shall be hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by
their fruits ye shall know them. Not all they that say unto me, master,
master, shall enter in to the kingdom of heaven: But he that fulfilleth
my father's will which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day,
master, master, have we not in thy name prophesied? and in thy name
have we not cast out devils? and in thy name have we not done many
miracles. And then will I knowledge unto them, that I never knew them.
Depart from me, ye workers of iniquity.
