马太福音 7
不要评断
1 “不要评断人，免得你们被评断。2 因为，你们用什么标准来评断，也会同样地被评断；你们用什么量器t来衡量，也会同样地被衡量。3 你为什么看见你弟兄眼里的木屑，却不想自己眼里的梁木呢？4 又怎么能对你弟兄说‘让我除掉你眼里的木屑’呢？看哪，你自己眼里还有梁木呢！5 你这伪善的人！先除掉你自己眼里的梁木，然后你才能看得清楚，好除掉你弟兄眼里的木屑。6 不要把神圣之物丢给狗，也不要把你们的珍珠丢在猪面前，免得它们用脚把这些践踏了，然后转身撕咬你们。
不断祈求
7 “不断祈求吧，就会给你们；不断寻找吧，就会找到；不断敲门吧，就会为你们开门。8 因为凡祈求的，就得到；寻找的，就找到；敲门的，就为他开门。9 你们当中有哪个人，儿子要饼，却给他石头呢？10 儿子要鱼，却给他蛇呢？11 所以，如果你们做为恶人也知道把好的东西给自己的儿女，更何况你们在天上的父要把美好的赐给求他的人呢！12 因此在任何事上，你们希望别人怎样对待你们，你们也应当怎样对待别人。要知道，这就是律法和先知t的教导t。
要进窄门
13 “你们要从窄门进去；因为那通向灭亡t的门是大的，那条路是宽的，从那里进去的人也多；14 然而，那通向永生t的门是多么小，路是多么窄，找到它的人是多么少。
15 “你们要提防假先知。他们披着羊皮来到你们这里，里面却是凶残的狼。16 凭着他们的果子，你们就能认出他们来。难道从荆棘上能收葡萄，从蒺藜中能收无花果吗？17 同样，好树都结好果子，坏树就结坏果子；18 好树不能结坏果子，坏树也不能结好果子。19 所有不结好果子的树都要被砍下来，被丢进火里。20 因此凭着他们的果子，你们就能认出他们来。
21 “不是每一个称呼我‘主啊，主啊’的人，都能进入天国；只有遵行我天父旨意的人，才能进去。22 在那一天，有许多人会对我说：‘主啊，主啊，我们不是奉你的名做先知传道t，奉你的名驱赶鬼魔，奉你的名行了很多神迹吗？’23 那时候，我要向他们宣告：‘我从来不认识你们。离开我，你们这些作恶t的人！’t
两种根基
24 “因此，凡是听了我这些话而实行的人，就好比一个聪明的人把自己的房子建在磐石上。25 大雨降下，急流冲来，狂风刮起，撞击那房子，房子却没有倒塌，因为它在磐石上立定根基。26 可是，凡是听了我这些话而不实行的人，就好比一个愚拙的人把自己的房子建在沙滩上。27 大雨降下，急流冲来，狂风刮起，撞击那房子，房子就倒塌了，并且倒塌得非常厉害。”
28 当耶稣讲完了这些话，众人都对他的教导惊叹不已，29 因为耶稣教导他们，就像有权柄的人，不像他们的经文士们。
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
