Matthew 7

English Tyndale 1537

← Chapter 6 Jump to: Chapter 8 →

1Judge not lest ye be judged.(Judge not, that ye be not judged.) (comdemn not and ye shall not and be condemned)

2For as ye judge, so shall ye be judged. And with what measure ye mete, with the same shall it be measured to you again.

3Why seest thou a mote in thy brother's eye, and perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4Or why sayest thou to thy brother: (Brother) suffer me to pluck out a(the) mote out of thine eye, and behold a beam is in thine own eye.

5Hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pluck 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 they tread them under their feet, and the other turn again and all to rent you.

7Ask and it shall be given you: Seek and ye shall find, Knock and it shall be opened unto you.

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

9Is there any man among you which would proffer his son a stone if he asked him bread?(Is there any man among you which if his son asked him bread, would offer him a stone?)

10Or if he asked fish, would he proffer him a serpent?

11If ye then which are evil, can give to your children good gifts: how much more shall your father, which is in heaven, give good things, to them that ask of him?

12Therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, even so do ye to them. This is the law and the prophets.

13Enter in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction: and many there be, which go in thereat.

14For(But) strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life: and few there be, that find it.

15Beware of false prophets, which come to you, in sheeps' clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns? Or figs of briars?(thistles)

17Even so every good tree, bringeth forth good fruit. But a corrupt tree, bringeth forth evil fruit.

18A good tree cannot bring forth bad fruit: nor yet a bad tree can bring forth good fruit.

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

20Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

21Not all they that say unto me, master, master,(Lord, Lord) shall enter in to the kingdom of heaven: but he that fulfilleth(doeth) my father's will which is in heaven. (He shall enter in to the kingdom of heaven)

22Many will say to me in that day, Master, master,(Lord, Lord) have we not in thy name prophesied? and in thy name have we not cast out devils? and in thy name have we not done many miracles.(And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name have done many miracles?)

23And then will I knowledge unto them, that I never knew them. Depart from me, ye workers of iniquity.

24Whosoever heareth of me these sayings, and doeth the same, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house on a rock:

25and abundance of rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that same house, and it was not overthrown(fell not) because it was grounded on the rock.

26And whosoever heareth of me these sayings, and doth(them) not the same, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand,

27and abundance of rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it was overthrown,(fell) and great was the fall of it.

28And it came to pass, that when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonied at his doctrine.

29For he taught them as one having power, and not as the scribes. (of them, and the Pharises)
