Matthew 7, side by side

¹“Do not judge, or you will be judged.

¹Judge not, that ye be not judged.

²For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

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

³Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

³And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

⁴How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while there is still a beam in your own eye?

⁴Or 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?

⁵You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

⁵Thou hypocrite, first 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.

⁶Do not give dogs what is holy; do not throw your pearls before swine. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.

⁶Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

⁷Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

⁷Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

⁸For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

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

⁹Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?

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

¹⁰Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?

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

¹¹So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

¹¹If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

¹²In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you. For this is the essence of the Law and the Prophets.

¹²Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so 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 that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.

¹³Enter ye 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:

¹⁴But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.

¹⁴Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

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

¹⁵Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

¹⁶By their fruit you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?

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

¹⁷Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

¹⁷Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

¹⁸A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.

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

¹⁹Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

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

²⁰So then, by their fruit you will recognize them.

²⁰Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

²¹Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

²¹Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

²²Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’

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

²³Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’

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

²⁴Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

²⁴Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

²⁵The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because its foundation was on the rock.

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

²⁶But everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.

²⁶And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

²⁷The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell—and great was its collapse!”

²⁷And 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.

²⁸When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were astonished at His teaching,

²⁸And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

²⁹because He taught as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.

²⁹For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
