馬太福音 7
不要論斷人
(路6‧37-38,41-42)
1 「你們不要論斷人,免得你們被論斷。 2 因為你們怎樣論斷人,也必怎樣被論斷;你們用甚麼量器量給人,也必用甚麼量器量給你們。 3 為甚麼看見你弟兄眼中有刺,卻不想自己眼中有樑木呢? 4 你自己眼中有樑木,怎能對你弟兄說:『容我去掉你眼中的刺』呢? 5 你這假冒為善的人!先去掉自己眼中的樑木,然後才能看得清楚,去掉你弟兄眼中的刺。 6 不要把聖物給狗,也不要把你們的珍珠丟在豬前,恐怕牠踐踏了珍珠,轉過來咬你們。」
祈求、尋找、叩門
(路11‧9-13)
7 「你們祈求,就給你們;尋找,就尋見;叩門,就給你們開門。 8 因為凡祈求的,就得著;尋找的,就尋見;叩門的,就給他開門。 9 你們中間誰有兒子求餅,反給他石頭呢? 10 求魚,反給他蛇呢? 11 你們雖然不好,尚且知道拿好東西給兒女,何況你們在天上的父,豈不更把好東西給求他的人嗎? 12 所以,無論何事,你們願意人怎樣待你們,你們也要怎樣待人,因為這就是律法和先知的道理。」
窄門
(路13‧24)
13 「你們要進窄門。因為引到滅亡,那門是寬的,路是大的,進去的人也多; 14 引到永生,那門是窄的,路是小的,找著的人也少。」
兩種果樹
(路6‧43-44)
15 「你們要防備假先知。他們到你們這裏來,外面披著羊皮,裏面卻是殘暴的狼。 16 憑著他們的果子,就可以認出他們來。荊棘上豈能摘葡萄呢?蒺藜裏豈能摘無花果呢? 17 這樣,凡好樹都結好果子,惟獨壞樹結壞果子。 18 好樹不能結壞果子;壞樹不能結好果子。 19 凡不結好果子的樹就砍下來,丟在火裏。 20 所以,憑著他們的果子就可以認出他們來。」
我不認識你們
(路13‧25-27)
21 「凡稱呼我『主啊,主啊』的人不能都進天國;惟獨遵行我天父旨意的人才能進去。 22 當那日必有許多人對我說:『主啊,主啊,我們不是奉你的名傳道,奉你的名趕鬼,奉你的名行許多異能嗎?』 23 我就明明地告訴他們說:『我從來不認識你們,你們這些作惡的人,離開我去吧!』」
兩種蓋房子的人
(路6‧46-49)
24 「所以,凡聽見我這話就去行的,好比一個聰明人,把房子蓋在磐石上; 25 雨淋,水沖,風吹,撞著那房子,房子總不倒塌,因為根基立在磐石上。 26 凡聽見我這話不去行的,好比一個無知的人,把房子蓋在沙土上; 27 雨淋,水沖,風吹,撞著那房子,房子就倒塌了,並且倒塌得很大。」
28 耶穌講完了這些話,眾人都希奇他的教訓; 29 因為他教訓他們,正像有權柄的人,不像他們的文士。
Matthew 7
Do Not Judge
1 “Do not judge so that you will not be judged.s2 For by the standard you judge you will be judged, and the measure you use will be the measure you receive.t3 Whyt do you see the specks in your brother’s eye, but fail to seet the beam of woods in your own?4 Or how can you sayt to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye,’ while there is a beam in your own?5 You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
6 Do not give what is holy to dogs or throw your pearls before pigs; otherwise they will trample them under their feet and turn around and tear you to pieces.t
Ask, Seek, Knock
7 “Asks and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the doort will be opened for you.8 For everyone who askss receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.9 Ist there anyone among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?s11 If you then, although you are evil,t know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good giftss to those who ask him!
12 Int everything, treat others as you would want themt to treat you,s for this fulfillst the law and the prophets.
The Narrow Gate
13 “Enter through the narrow gate, because the gate is wide and the way is spacious that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.
14 But the gate is narrow and the way is difficult that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
A Tree and Its Fruit
15 “Watch out for false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are voracious wolves.s16 You will recognize them by their fruit. Grapes are not gatheredt from thorns or figs from thistles, are they?s17 In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but the badt tree bears bad fruit.18 A good tree is not able to bear bad fruit, nor a bad tree to bear good fruit.19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 So then, you will recognize them by their fruit.
Judgment of Pretenders
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’s will enter into the kingdom of heaven – only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.22 On that day, many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, and in your name cast out demons and dot many powerful deeds?’
23 Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you. Go away from me, you lawbreakers!’t
Hearing and Doing
24 “Everyonet who hears these words of mine and does them is liket a wise mant who built his house on rock.25 The rain fell, the floodt came, and the winds beat against that house, but it did not collapse because it had been founded on rock.26 Everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
27 The rain fell, the flood came, and the winds beat against that house, and it collapsed; it was utterly destroyed!”t
28 Whent Jesus finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed by his teaching,
29 because he taught them like one who had authority,s not like their experts in the law.t
