\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, 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 person\fnAnthropos{} 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 people 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 wicked\fnPoneros{}
|
|
fruit%
|
|
\footnote{``Wicked fruit'' is striking,
|
|
but consistent with \Iesous' extended metaphor about fruit and human integrity.}.
|
|
\VS{18} [A] good tree is not able to bear wicked\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 prudent 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\footnote{M\={O}ROS} 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\fnLogos{},
|
|
the crowd was shocked by his teaching.
|
|
\VS{29} For he was teaching them as [one] having authority, and not as their scribes.
