馬太福音 7
不要評斷人
(路6.37-38,41-42)
1 「你們不要評斷別人,免得你們被審判。 2 因為你們怎樣評斷別人,也必怎樣被審判;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,卻不想自己眼中有梁木呢? 4 你自己眼中有梁木,怎能對你弟兄說『讓我去掉你眼中的刺』呢? 5 你這假冒為善的人!先去掉自己眼中的梁木,然後才能看得清楚,好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面前,恐怕牠們踐踏了珍珠,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,就找到;叩門,就給你們開門。 8 因為凡祈求的,就得著;尋找的,就找到;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,他豈不更要把好東西賜給求他的人嗎? 12 所以,無論何事,你們想要人怎樣待你們,你們也要怎樣待人,因為這就是律法和先知的道理。」
要進窄門
(路13.24)
13 「你們要進窄門。因為通往滅亡的門是寬的,路是大的,進去的人也多; 14 通往生命的門是窄的,路是小的,找到的人也少。」
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 豈能在荊棘上摘葡萄呢?豈能在蒺藜裏摘無花果呢?憑著他們的果子,就可以認出他們來。 17 這樣,凡好樹都結好果子,而壞樹結壞果子。 18 好樹不能結壞果子,壞樹也不能結好果子。 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。」
遵主旨得進天國
(路13.25-27)
21 「不是每一個稱呼我『主啊,主啊』的人都能進天國;惟有遵行我天父旨意的人才能進去。 22 在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 我要向他們宣告:『我從來不認識你們,你們這些作惡的人,給我走開!』」
兩種根基
(路6.47-49)
24 「所以,凡聽了我這些話又去做的,好比一個聰明人把房子蓋在磐石上。 25 風吹,雨打,水沖,撞擊那房子,房子總不倒塌,因為根基立在磐石上。 26 凡聽了我這些話而不去做的,好比一個無知的人把房子蓋在沙土上。 27 風吹,雨打,水沖,撞擊那房子,房子就倒塌了,並且倒塌得很厲害。」
28 耶穌講完了這些話,眾人對他的教導都感到驚奇, 29 因為他教導他們正像有權柄的人,不像他們的文士。
MATTHEW 7
Judging Others
(Luke 6.37,38,41,42)
1 Don't condemn others, and God won't condemn you.
2 t God will be as hard on you as you are on others! He will treat you exactly as you treat them.
3 You can see the speck in your friend's eye, but you don't notice the log in your own eye. 4 How can you say, “My friend, let me take the speck out of your eye,” when you don't see the log in your own eye?
5 You're nothing but show-offs! First, take the log out of your own eye; then you can see how to take the speck out of your friend's eye.
6 Don't give to dogs what belongs to God. They will only turn and attack you. Don't throw pearls down in front of pigs. They will trample all over them.Ask, Search, Knock
(Luke 11.9-13)
7 t Ask, and you will receive. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened for you.
8 Everyone who asks will receive. Everyone who searches will find. And the door will be opened for everyone who knocks.
9 Would any of you give your hungry child a stone, if the child asked for some bread? 10 Would you give your child a snake if the child asked for a fish?
11 As bad as you are, you still know how to give good gifts to your children. But your heavenly Father is even more ready to give good things to people who ask.
12 t Treat others as you want them to treat you. This is what the Law and the Prophetst are all about.The Narrow Gate
(Luke 13.24)
13 t Go in through the narrow gate. The gate to destruction is wide, and the road that leads there is easy to follow. A lot of people go through that gate.
14 But the gate to life is very narrow. The road that leads there is so hard to follow that only a few people find it.A Tree and Its Fruit
(Luke 6.43-45)
15 Watch out for false prophets! They dress up like sheep, but inside they are wolves who have come to attack you. 16 t You can tell what they are by what they do. No one picks grapes or figs from thornbushes. 17 A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot produce good fruit. 19 t Every tree producing bad fruit will be chopped down and burned.
20 t You can tell who the false prophets are by their deeds.A Warning
(Luke 13.26,27)
21 Not everyone who calls me their Lord will get into the kingdom of heaven. Only the ones who obey my Father in heaven will get in. 22 On the day of judgment many will call me their Lord. They will say, “We preached in your name, and in your name we forced out demons and worked many miracles.”
23 t But I will tell them, “I will have nothing to do with you! Get out of my sight, you evil people!”Two Builders
(Luke 6.47-49)
24 Anyone who hears and obeys these teachings of mine is like a wise person who built a house on solid rock.
25 Rain poured down, rivers flooded, and winds beat against that house. But it was built on solid rock, and so it did not fall.
26 Anyone who hears my teachings and doesn't obey them is like a foolish person who built a house on sand.
27 Rain poured down, rivers flooded, and the winds blew and beat against that house. Finally, it fell with a crash.
28 t When Jesus finished speaking, the crowds were surprised at his teaching. 29 He taught them like someone with authority, and not like their teachers of the Law of Moses.
