Matthew 7 BSB
Judging Others
1 “Do not judge, or you will be judged. See the Greek order
2 For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. See the Greek order
3 Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye? See the Greek order
4 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? See the Greek order
5 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. See the Greek order
6 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. See the Greek order
Ask, Seek, Knock
7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. See the Greek order
8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. See the Greek order
9 Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? See the Greek order
10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? See the Greek order
11 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! See the Greek order
12 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. See the Greek order
The Narrow Gate
13 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. See the Greek order
14 But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it. See the Greek order
A Tree and Its Fruit
15 Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. See the Greek order
16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? See the Greek order
17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. See the Greek order
18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. See the Greek order
19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. See the Greek order
20 So then, by their fruit you will recognize them. See the Greek order
21 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. See the Greek order
22 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?’ See the Greek order
23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’ See the Greek order
The House on the Rock
24 Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. See the Greek order
25 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. See the Greek order
26 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. See the Greek order
27 The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell—and great was its collapse!” See the Greek order
The Authority of Jesus
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were astonished at His teaching, See the Greek order
29 because He taught as one who had authority, and not as their scribes. See the Greek order
