मत्ती 7

1Judge not, that you may not be judged,

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

3Any why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye; and seest not the beam that is in thy own eye?

4Or how sayest thou to thy brother: Let me cast the mote out of thy eye; and behold a beam is in thy own eye?

5Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam in thy own eye, and then shalt thou see to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.

6Give not that which is holy to dogs; neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turning upon you, they tear you.

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

8For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.

9Or what man is there among you, of whom if his son shall ask bread, will he reach him a stone?

10Or if he shall ask him a fish, will he reach him a serpent?

11If you then being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will your Father who is in heaven, give good things to them that ask him?

12All things therefore whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you also to them. For this is the law and the prophets.

13Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat.

14How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it!

15Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit.

19Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire.

20Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.

21Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.

22Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name?

23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.

24Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock,

25And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock.

26And every one that heareth these my words, and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand,

27And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof.

28And it came to pass when Jesus had fully ended these words, the people were in admiration at his doctrine.

29For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes and Pharisees.

1Nolite judicare, ut non judicemini.

2In quo enim judicio judicaveritis, judicabimini: et in qua mensura mensi fueritis, remetietur vobis.

3Quid autem vides festucam in oculo fratris tui, et trabem in oculo tuo non vides?

4aut quomodo dicis fratri tuo: Sine ejiciam festucam de oculo tuo, et ecce trabs est in oculo tuo?

5Hypocrita, ejice primum trabem de oculo tuo, et tunc videbis ejicere festucam de oculo fratris tui.

6Nolite dare sanctum canibus: neque mittatis margaritas vestras ante porcos, ne forte conculcent eas pedibus suis, et conversi dirumpant vos.

7Petite, et dabitur vobis: quærite, et invenietis: pulsate, et aperietur vobis.

8Omnis enim qui petit, accipit: et qui quærit, invenit: et pulsanti aperietur.

9Aut quis est ex vobis homo, quem si petierit filius suus panem, numquid lapidem porriget ei?

10aut si piscem petierit, numquid serpentem porriget ei?

11Si ergo vos, cum sitis mali, nostis bona data dare filiis vestris: quanto magis Pater vester, qui in cælis est, dabit bona petentibus se?

12Omnia ergo quæcumque vultis ut faciant vobis homines, et vos facite illis. Hæc est enim lex, et prophetæ.

13Intrate per angustam portam: quia lata porta, et spatiosa via est, quæ ducit ad perditionem, et multi sunt qui intrant per eam.

14Quam angusta porta, et arcta via est, quæ ducit ad vitam: et pauci sunt qui inveniunt eam !

15Attendite a falsis prophetis, qui veniunt ad vos in vestimentis ovium, intrinsecus autem sunt lupi rapaces:

16a fructibus eorum cognoscetis eos. Numquid colligunt de spinis uvas, aut de tribulis ficus?

17Sic omnis arbor bona fructus bonos facit: mala autem arbor malos fructus facit.

18Non potest arbor bona malos fructus facere: neque arbor mala bonos fructus facere.

19Omnis arbor, quæ non facit fructum bonum, excidetur, et in ignem mittetur.

20Igitur ex fructibus eorum cognoscetis eos.

21Non omnis qui dicit mihi, Domine, Domine, intrabit in regnum cælorum: sed qui facit voluntatem Patris mei, qui in cælis est, ipse intrabit in regnum cælorum.

22Multi dicent mihi in illa die: Domine, Domine, nonne in nomine tuo prophetavimus, et in nomine tuo dæmonia ejecimus, et in nomine tuo virtutes multas fecimus?

23Et tunc confitebor illis: Quia numquam novi vos: discedite a me, qui operamini iniquitatem.

24Omnis ergo qui audit verba mea hæc, et facit ea, assimilabitur viro sapienti, qui ædificavit domum suam supra petram,

25et descendit pluvia, et venerunt flumina, et flaverunt venti, et irruerunt in domum illam, et non cecidit: fundata enim erat super petram.

26Et omnis qui audit verba mea hæc, et non facit ea, similis erit viro stulto, qui ædificavit domum suam super arenam:

27et descendit pluvia, et venerunt flumina, et flaverunt venti, et irruerunt in domum illam, et cecidit, et fuit ruina illius magna.

28Et factum est: cum consummasset Jesus verba hæc, admirabantur turbæ super doctrina ejus.

29Erat enim docens eos sicut potestatem habens, et non sicut scribæ eorum, et pharisæi.

1“Do not judge, so that you may not be judged.

2For with whatever judgment you judge, so shall you be judged; and with whatever measure you measure out, so shall it be measured back to you.

3And how can you see the splinter in your brother’s eye, and not see the board in your own eye?

4Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the splinter from your eye,’ while, behold, a board is in your own eye?

5Hypocrite, first remove the board from your own eye, and then you will see clearly enough to remove the splinter from your brother’s eye.

6Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not cast your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they may trample them under their feet, and then, turning, they may tear you apart.

7Ask, and it shall be given to you. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you.

8For everyone who asks, receives; and whoever seeks, finds; and to anyone who knocks, it will be opened.

9Or what man is there among you, who, if his son were to ask him for bread, would offer him a stone;

10or if he were to ask him for a fish, would offer him a snake?

11Therefore, if you, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your sons, how much more will your Father, who is in heaven, give good things to those who ask him?

12Therefore, all things whatsoever that you wish that men would do to you, do so also to them. For this is the law and the prophets.

13Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate, and broad is the way, which leads to perdition, and many there are who enter through it.

14How narrow is the gate, and how straight is the way, which leads to life, and few there are who find it!

15Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

16You shall know them by their fruits. Can grapes be gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles?

17So then, every good tree produces good fruit, and the evil tree produces evil fruit.

18A good tree is not able to produce evil fruit, and an evil tree is not able to produce good fruit.

19Every tree which does not produce good fruit shall be cut down and cast into the fire.

20Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.

21Not all who say to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven. But whoever does the will of my Father, who is in heaven, the same shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.

22Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and perform many powerful deeds in your name?’

23And then will I disclose to them: ‘I have never known you. Depart from me, you workers of iniquity.’

24Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and does them shall be compared to a wise man, who built his house upon the rock.

25And the rains descended, and the floods rose up, and the winds blew, and rushed upon that house, but it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

26And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them shall be like a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand.

27And the rains descended, and the floods rose up, and the winds blew, and rushed upon that house, and it did fall, and great was its ruin.”

28And it happened, when Jesus had completed these words, that the crowds were astonished at his doctrine.

29For he was teaching them as one who has authority, and not like their scribes and Pharisees.
