¶¹Judge not, that ye be not judged.

²For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

And why³ beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but⁴ considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

Thou hypocrite⁵, first⁶ cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Give not that⁷ which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast⁸ ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn⁹ again and rend you.

¶ Ask, and it¹⁰ shall be given you; seek¹¹, and ye shall find; knock¹², and it shall be opened unto you:

¹³For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

¹⁴Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

¶ Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

If ye then, being¹⁵ evil, know how¹⁶ to give good¹⁷ gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

¶ Therefore all¹⁸ things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for¹⁹ this is the law and the prophets.

Enter ye in at²⁰ the strait gate: for²¹ wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that²² leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Because²³ strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few²⁴ there be that find it.

¶ Beware²⁵ of false²⁶ prophets, which²⁷ come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are²⁸ ravening wolves.

Ye shall²⁹ know them by their fruits. Do³⁰ men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Even so every³¹ good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but³² a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

A good tree cannot³³ bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Every tree that bringeth³⁴ not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

¶³⁵Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

¶ Not every one that saith³⁶ unto me, Lord, Lord, shall³⁷ enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that³⁸ doeth the will of my³⁹ Father which is in heaven.

Many will say to me⁴⁰ in that day, Lord, Lord, have we⁴¹ not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

And then will I profess unto them, I never⁴² knew you: depart⁴³ from me, ye that work iniquity.

Therefore whosoever⁴⁴ heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise⁴⁵ man, which⁴⁶ built his house upon a rock:

And the rain⁴⁷ descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for⁴⁸ it was founded upon a rock.

And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth⁴⁹ them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

⁵⁰And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people⁵¹ were astonished at his doctrine:

For he taught them as one having⁵² authority, and not⁵³ as the scribes.
