“Do not judge, or you will be judged.
2
BSB
For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3
BSB
Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?
4
BSB
How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while there is still a beam in your own eye?
5
BSB
You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
6
BSB
Do not give dogs what is holy; do not throw your pearls before swine. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.
7
BSB
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
8
BSB
For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
9
BSB
Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
10
BSB
Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
11
BSB
So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
12
BSB
In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you. For this is the essence of the Law and the Prophets.
13
BSB
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
14
BSB
But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.
15
BSB
Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
16
BSB
By their fruit you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
17
BSB
Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
18
BSB
A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
19
BSB
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20
BSB
So then, by their fruit you will recognize them.
21
BSB
Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
22
BSB
Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’
23
BSB
Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’
24
BSB
Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
25
BSB
The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because its foundation was on the rock.
26
BSB
But everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
27
BSB
The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell—and great was its collapse!”
28
BSB
When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were astonished at His teaching,
29
BSB
because He taught as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.
