Matthew 7
7
Don’t Judge Other People
1“Don’t judge other people, or you’ll be judged yourself. 2You will be judged in the same way that you judge others, and the measure you use for others will be used for you.
3“Why do you look at the bit of sawdust in your friend’s eye but pay no attention to the chunk of wood in your own eye? 4How can you say to your friend, ‘Let me take the bit of sawdust out of your eye,’ when there’s a log in your own eye? 5You hypocrite! First take the piece of wood out of your own eye, and then you’ll be able to see to take the bit of sawdust out of your friend’s eye.
6“Don’t give holy things to dogs, and don’t throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may stomp all over them and then turn around and tear you to pieces.
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. 8For everyone who asks receives, the one who seeks finds, and the door will be opened to anyone who knocks.
9“Suppose your son asks for bread. Which of you would give him a stone? 10Or suppose he asks for a fish. Which of you would give him a snake? 11Even people who are bad know how to give good gifts to their children. How much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him! 12In everything, do to others what you would want them to do to you. That sums up the Law and the Prophets.
The Large and Small Gates
13“Enter through the narrow gate. The gate is large and the road is wide that leads to ruin. Many people go that way. 14But the gate is small and the road is narrow that leads to life. Only a few people find it.
True and False Prophets
15“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you disguised as sheep, but on the inside they’re hungry wolves. 16You’ll recognize them by their fruit. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? 17In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree can’t bear bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t bear good fruit. 19Every tree that doesn’t bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20So you’ll recognize them by their fruit.
True and False Disciples
21“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only those who do the will of my Father in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord! Lord! Didn’t we prophesy in your name? Didn’t we drive out demons? Didn’t we do many miracles?’ 23But I will tell them outright, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me—you didn’t follow God’s ways!’
Put Jesus’ Words into Practice
24“So then, everyone who hears my words and puts them into practice is like a wise person who built a house on a rock. 25The rain came down, the water rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, but it didn’t fall, because it was built on a rock. 26Everyone who hears my words but doesn’t put them into practice is like a foolish person who built a house on the sand. 27The rain came down, the water rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a loud crash.”
28When Jesus had finished saying all these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching. 29He taught like one who had authority, and not like their teachers of the law.

Matthew 7
7
1“Judge not lest you be judged”.
2“With what judgment you judge and with what measure you use, it will be measured to you”.
3“Why do you see the straw in the eyes of the other person but not see the beam in your own eyes”
4“How is it that you say to the other person: ‘Wait for me awhile and I will cast the straw out of your eyes’, and behold the beam is in your own eyes?”
5“Hypocrite, first cast the beam out of your eyes and afterwards you will cast the straw out of the eyes of your fellowman”
6Again he said to them: “Do not give holy flesh to dogs nor place your pearls before swine lest they chew them before you and turn to tear you to pieces”.
7“Ask from The Mighty One and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you”.
8“Everyone who asks will receive, by the one who seeks it will be found, and to the one who calls it will be opened”
9“Who is there among you whose son asks him for a piece of bread and he gives him a stone?”
10“Or if he should ask for a fish, he gives him a snake?”
11“But if you being evil come to place give good gifts to one another, so much the more your Father Who is in heaven will give His Good Ruach [Spirit [Ruach]] to those who seek Him”.
12“Everything you wish that men should do to you, do to them; this is the Torah and the words of the prophets”.
13At that time Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to his disciples: “Enter in the narrow gate because the gate of destruction is wide and deep, and many are going through it”
14“How narrow is the gate and marked by grief the Way that leads straight to life and few are those who find it”
15Again he said to them: “Beware of false prophets who come to you in wool clothing like sheep, but inside are tearing wolves”
16“By their deeds you will know them. Does a man gather grapes from thorns or figs from briars?”
17“Every good tree makes good fruit and every bad tree makes bad fruit”
18“The good tree cannot make bad fruit nor can the bad tree make good fruit”
19“Every tree which does not make good fruit is cut down and burned in the fire”
20“Therefore it is according to fruits, that is, by their deeds, you will know them”
21“Because not everyone who says unto me, Adonai [Ruler Above All], will enter the Kingdom of heaven, but, the one who does the will of my Father Who is in heaven, will enter the Kingdom of heaven”
22“Many will say to me in that day, ‘Adonai [Ruler Above All], Adonai [Ruler Above All], did we not prophesy in your name and in your name cast out demons and do many signs in your name’”
23“Then I will say to them: I never knew you. Depart from me all you workers of iniquity”
24Again he said to them: “Everyone who hears these my words and does them is like a wise man who built his house on a rock”.
25“The rain came down against it and the winds beat it and it did not fall because its foundation was a rock”
26“Everyone who hears these my words and does not do them is like a foolish man who built his house upon the sand.”
27“The rains came down, the floods came and fell against it and it fell with a great fall”.
28While Yeshua [God is Salvation] was speaking these words all the people were greatly astonished at his conduct,
29because he was preaching to them with great power, not as the rest of the Torah-teachers (Scribes) and P’rushim (Pharisee [separatist]s) [separatists]”
