you. [7:3]And why do you see a speck in your
brother's eye, and not consider a beam in your own eye? [7:4]or how
will you say to your brother, Let me cast out the speck from your eye,
and behold a beam in your own eye? [7:5] Hypocrite, cast out first the
beam from your eye, and then will you see clearly to cast out the speck
from your brother's eye. [7:6]Give not a holy thing to dogs, neither
cast your pearls before swine, lest they tread them down with their
feet, and turn and rend you. [7:7]Ask, and it shall be given you. Seek,
and you shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you. [7:8]For
every one that asks, receives; and he that seeks, finds; and to him
that knocks, it shall be opened. [7:9]Or is there any man of you, who,
if his son asks bread of him, will give him a stone? [7:10]or if he
asks a fish, will give him a serpent? [7:11]If you then, being evil,
know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your
Father in heaven give good gifts to them that ask him. [7:12]All
things, therefore, which you wish men to do to you, do also thus to
them; for this is the law and the prophets.

are rapacious wolves. [7:16]You shall know them by their fruits. Do men
gather grapes from thorns? or figs from thistles? [7:17]So every good
tree bears good fruits, but a bad tree bears bad fruits; [7:18]a good
tree cannot bear bad fruits, nor a bad tree good fruits. [7:19] Every
tree which bears not good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.
[7:20] By their fruits, therefore, you shall know them.

13 [7:21]Not every one that says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into
the kingdom of heaven, but he that does the will of my Father in
heaven. [7:22]Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not
prophesied in your name, and in your name cast out demons, and in your
name performed many mighty works? [7:23]and then will I confess to
them, I never knew you; depart from me you that commit wickedness.

14 [7:24]Every one, therefore, that hears these words of mine and
performs them, I will liken to a wise man who built his house on the
