Walks and Words of Jesus: A Paragraph Harmony of the Four Evangelists
Bible. Gospels -- Harmonies, English
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his
stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the
lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do
they spin; and yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all
his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if
God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to
morrow is cast into the oven, _shall he_ not much more
_clothe_ you, O ye of little faith.
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What
shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For
after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your
heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore
no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought
for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day _is_ the
evil thereof.
CHAPTER XI.
SERMON ON THE MOUNT, CONCLUDED.
Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye
judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it
shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the
mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not 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 see clearly 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
asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that
knocketh it shall be opened.
Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will
he give him a stone? Or if he ask a 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 which is
in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
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.
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: because strait _is_ the gate,
and narrow _is_ the way, which leadeth unto life, and few
there be that find it.
