Matthew 7:1-18 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

1. “Do not judge, lest you be judged.

2. “For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged. And with the same measure you use, it shall be measured to you.

3. “And why do you look at the splinter in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the plank in your own eye?

4. “Or how is it that you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the splinter out of your eye,’ and see, a plank is in your own eye?

5. “Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you shall see clearly to remove the splinter out of your brother’s eye.

6. “Do not give what is set-apart to the dogs, nor throw your pearls before the pigs, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.

7. “Ask and it shall be given to you, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you.

8. “For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it shall be opened.

9. “Or is there a man among you who, if his son asks for bread, shall give him a stone?

10. “Or if he asks for a fish, shall he give him a snake?

11. “If you then, being wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in the heavens give what is good to those who ask Him!

12. “Therefore, whatever you wish men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Torah and the Prophets.

13. “Enter in through the narrow gate! Because the gate is wide – and the way is broad – that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in through it.

14. “Because the gate is narrow and the way is hard pressed which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

15. “But beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are savage wolves.

16. “By their fruits you shall know them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes or figs from thistles?

17. “So every good tree yields good fruit, but a rotten tree yields wicked fruit.

18. “A good tree is unable to yield wicked fruit, and a rotten tree to yield good fruit.
