\subsection{Matthew 7} \subsubsection{Do Not Judge} \VS{1} Be not judging, that you not be judged. \VS{2} For with what judgment you judge, you [yourself] will be judged, and with what measure you measure [others], it shall be measured to you. \VS{3} And why do you see the speck in your brother's eye but do not perceive the log in your own eye? \VS{4} Or how will you say to your brother: Let me throw the speck out of your eye, and behold the log in your own? \VS{5} Hypocrite! First throw the log out of your own eye, and then you will see straight to be throwing the speck out of your brother's eye. \VS{6} Do not give holy [things] to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet\footnote{or ``in their swill''}, and having turned, tear you asunder. \subsubsection{Asking, Seeking, Knocking} \VS{7} Be asking, and it will be given to you; be seeking, and you will find; be knocking, and it will be opened to you. \VS{8} For everyone asking receives, and [everyone] seeking finds, and to [everyone] knocking it is opened. \VS{9} Or what man is among you whose son asks him for bread, he does not give him [a] stone, [does he]?\fnGrammarIndicatesNo{}\ \VS{10} Or asks for fish, he does not give him [a] snake, [does he]?\fnGrammarIndicatesNo{} \VS{11} If therefore you being wicked\fnPoneros{} know good gifts to be giving to your children, how much more your father in the heavens will give good [things] to those asking him. \VS{12} Therefore everything that you wish that men be doing to\footnote{or ``for''} you, also be doing to\footnote{or ``for''} them. For this is the law and the prophets. \subsubsection{The Narrow Gate} \VS{13} Enter in through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the road leading to destruction, and many are those entering through it. \VS{14} And confined is the way leading to zoe-life\fnZoe{}, and few are those finding it. \subsubsection{A Tree and Its Fruit} \VS{15} Be giving heed from the false-prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inside are ravishing wolves. \VS{16} From their fruits you will know them. They do not gather grapes from brambles or figs from [a] prickly plant, do [they]? \VS{17} Thus every good tree bears good fruit, but the rotten tree bears bad\fnPoneros{} fruit. \VS{18} [A] good tree is not able to bear bad\fnPoneros{} fruit, nor [a] rotten tree to bear good fruit. \VS{19} Every tree not bearing good fruit will be cut down and thrown in [the] fire. \VS{20} Therefore from their fruits you will know them. \subsubsection{Judgment of Pretenders} \VS{21} Not everyone saying to me: Lord Lord will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the [one] doing the will of my father who [is] in the heavens. \VS{22} Many will say to me in that day: Lord Lord did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and in your name do many powerful [things]? \VS{23} And then I will profess to them that I never knew them. Be departing from me you working lawlessness. \subsubsection{Hearing and Doing} \VS{24} Therefore everyone who hears these my words and does them, he will be like a shrewd man, who built his house upon the rock. \VS{25} And the rain came down and the rivers came and the winds blew and they fell against that house, and it did not fall, for it had been built on the rock. \VS{26} And everyone hearing these my words and not doing them is like [a] stupid man, who built his house on sand. \VS{27} And the rain came down and the rivers came and the winds blew and fell against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it. \VS{28} And it came to pass [that] when Iesous finished these words, the crowd was shocked by his teaching. \VS{29} For he was teaching them as [one] having authority, and not as their scribes.
