6. `Ye may not give that which is [holy] to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the swine, that they may not trample them among their feet, and having turned--may rend you.
7. `Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you;
8. for every one who is asking doth receive, and he who is seeking doth find, and to him who is knocking it shall be opened.
9. `Or what man is of you, of whom, if his son may ask a loaf--a stone will he present to him?
10. and if a fish he may ask--a serpent will he present to him?
11. if, therefore, ye being evil, have known good gifts to give to your children, how much more shall your Father who [is] in the heavens give good things to those asking him?
12. `All things, therefore, whatever ye may will that men may be doing to you, so also do to them, for this is the law and the prophets.
13. `Go ye in through the strait gate, because wide [is] the gate, and broad the way that is leading to the destruction, and many are those going in through it;
14. how strait [is] the gate, and compressed the way that is leading to the life, and few are those finding it!
15. `But, take heed of the false prophets, who come unto you in sheep's clothing, and inwardly are ravening wolves.
16. From their fruits ye shall know them; do [men] gather from thorns grapes? or from thistles figs?
17. so every good tree doth yield good fruits, but the bad tree doth yield evil fruits.
18. A good tree is not able to yield evil fruits, nor a bad tree to yield good fruits.
