Matthew 7
American Standard Version
7 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me cast out the mote out of thine eye; and lo, the beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before the swine, lest haply they trample them under their feet, and turn and rend you.
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9 Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone; 10 or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? 12 All things therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, even so do ye also unto them: for this is the law and the prophets.
13 Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide [a]is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby. 14 [b]For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. 16 By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21 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 who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many [c]mighty works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24 Every one therefore that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, who built his house upon the rock: 25 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 the rock. 26 And every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand: 27 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof.
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching: 29 for he taught them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.

7 “ Do not mē judge krinō others, so hina that you will not mē be judged krinō. 2 For gar by en hos the standard krima you judge krinō you will be judged krinō, and kai with en hos the measure metron you use metreō it will be measured metreō to you hymeis. 3 And de why tis do you look blepō at the ho speck karphos · ho in en your sy brother’ s adelphos · ho eye ophthalmos · ho · ho but de pay katanoeō no ou attention to katanoeō the log dokos in en · ho your sos own eye ophthalmos? 4 Or ē how pōs dare you say legō to ho your sy brother adelphos, ‘ Let aphiēmi me remove ekballō the ho speck karphos from ek · ho your sy eye ophthalmos,’ and kai look idou, there is a ho log dokos in en · ho your own sy eye ophthalmos? 5 You hypocrite hypokritēs! First prōton take ekballō the ho log dokos out ek of ho your own sy eye ophthalmos, and kai then tote you will be able to see diablepō clearly to remove ekballō the ho speck karphos out ek of ho your sy brother’ s adelphos eye ophthalmos. · ho
6 “ Do not mē give didōmi what ho is holy hagios to ho dogs kyōn, and mēde do not throw ballō · ho your hymeis pearls margaritēs in front emprosthen of ho pigs choiros, lest mēpote the pigs trample katapateō them autos under en · ho their autos feet pous, and kai the dogs turn strephō and tear rhēgnymi you hymeis to pieces.
7 “ Ask aiteō and kai it will be given didōmi to you hymeis, seek zēteō and kai you will find heuriskō, knock krouō and kai it will be opened anoigō for you hymeis. 8 For gar everyone pas who ho asks aiteō receives lambanō, and kai everyone who ho seeks zēteō finds heuriskō, and kai for everyone who ho knocks krouō it will be opened anoigō. 9 Or ē is there eimi any tis man anthrōpos among ek you hymeis who hos, if his autos son hyios should ask aiteō · ho for bread artos, would give epididōmi him autos a stone lithos? 10 Or ē · kai if he should ask for aiteō a fish ichthus, would give epididōmi him autos a snake ophis? 11 If ei then oun you hymeis, who are eimi evil ponēros, know oida how to give didōmi good agathos gifts doma to ho your hymeis children teknon, how posos much more mallon will · ho your hymeis Father patēr · ho in en · ho heaven ouranos give didōmi good agathos things to ho those who ask aiteō him autos!

13 “ Enter eiserchomai through dia the ho narrow stenos gate pylē. For hoti wide platys is the ho gate pylē and kai easy eurychōros the ho way hodos that ho leads apagō to eis · ho destruction apōleia, and kai many polys are eimi those ho who enter eiserchomai through dia it autos. 14 How tis narrow stenos is the ho gate pylē and kai difficult thlibō the ho way hodos that ho leads apagō to eis · ho life zōē, and kai few oligos are eimi those ho who find heuriskō it autos!
15 “ Beware prosechō of apo · ho false pseudoprophētēs prophets ; they hostis come erchomai to pros you hymeis in en sheep’ s probaton clothing endyma, but de inwardly esōthen are eimi ravenous harpax wolves lykos. 16 By apo · ho their autos fruits karpos you will know epiginōskō them autos.

24 “ Therefore oun everyone pas who hostis hears akouō these houtos words logos of mine egō, · ho and kai does poieō them autos, is like homoioō the wise phronimos man anēr, who hostis built oikodomeō his autos · ho house oikia upon epi · ho rock petra. 25 When kai the ho rain brochē came katabainō down , and kai the ho waters potamos rose erchomai, and kai the ho winds anemos blew pneō and kai beat prospiptō against · ho that ekeinos house oikia, · kai it did not ou collapse piptō because gar it had been founded themelioō on epi · ho rock petra. 26 But kai everyone pas who ho hears akouō these houtos words logos of mine egō, · ho and kai does not mē do poieō them autos, will be like homoioō the foolish mōros man anēr who hostis built oikodomeō his autos · ho house oikia on epi · ho sand ammos. 27 When kai the ho rain brochē came katabainō down , and kai the ho waters potamos rose erchomai, and kai the ho winds anemos blew pneō and kai beat proskoptō against · ho that ekeinos house oikia, · kai it collapsed piptō— and kai great megas was eimi its autos · ho fall ptōsis!”
