马太福音 7
责人先责己
1 “不要论断别人，免得你们被论断。2 因为你们怎样论断别人，也必照样被论断；你们用什么尺度衡量别人，也要用什么尺度衡量你们。3 为什么你只看见你弟兄眼中的小刺，却看不见自己眼中的大梁呢？4 既然你自己眼中有大梁，又怎么能对弟兄说‘让我除去你眼中的小刺’呢？5 你这伪君子啊！要先除掉自己眼中的大梁，才能看得清楚，好清除弟兄眼中的小刺。6 不要把圣物给狗，免得狗转过头来咬你们，也不要把珍珠丢在猪前，免得猪践踏了珍珠。
祈求、寻找、叩门
7 “祈求，就会给你们；寻找，就会寻见；叩门，就会给你们开门。8 因为凡祈求的，就得到；寻找的，就寻见；叩门的，就给他开门。9 你们做父亲的，谁会在儿子要饼时给他石头，10 要鱼时给他毒蛇呢？11 你们虽然邪恶，尚且知道把好东西给儿女，你们的天父岂不更要把好东西赐给求祂的人吗？12 所以，你们希望人怎样待你们，就要怎样待人，这是律法和先知的教导。
辨别与抉择
13 “你们要进窄门，因为通向灭亡的门大，路宽，进去的人也多；14 但通向永生的门小，路窄，找到的人也少。
15 “你们要提防假先知，他们披着羊皮到你们当中，骨子里却是凶残的狼。16 你们可以凭他们结的果子认出他们。荆棘怎能结出葡萄呢？蒺藜怎能长出无花果呢？17 同样，好树结好果子，坏树结坏果子；18 好树结不出坏果子，坏树也结不出好果子。19 凡不结好果子的树，都要被砍下来丢在火里。20 因此，你们可以凭他们结的果子认出他们。
21 “并不是所有称呼我‘主啊，主啊’的人都能进天国，只有遵行我天父旨意的人才能进去。22 在审判那天，很多人会对我说，‘主啊，主啊，我们不是奉你的名传道，奉你的名赶鬼，奉你的名行了许多神迹吗？’23 我会清楚地告诉他们，‘我从来不认识你们，你们这些作恶的人走开！’
两种盖房子的人
24 “所以，凡听了我的这些话就去行的人，就像聪明人把房子建在磐石上。25 任由风吹雨打、洪水冲击，房子仍屹立不倒，因为它建基在磐石上。26 凡听了我这些话不去行的，就像愚昧人把房子建在沙土上。27 遇到风吹雨打、洪水冲击，房子就倒塌了，而且倒塌得很厉害。”28 大家听完耶稣这番教导，都很惊奇，29 因为祂教导他们时像位有权柄的人，不像他们的律法教师。
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
