Mt 7, 1 - 29

[안젤라]

CHAPTER 7

Judging others

1   "Stop judging, that you may not be judged.

2    For as you judge, so will you be judged and the measure with which you measure will be

      measured out to you."

3    Why do you notice the splinter in your brother' eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in

      your own eye?

4    How can you say to your brother, "Let me remove that splinter from your eye,' while the  

      wooden beam is in your eye?

5    You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to

      remove the splinter from your brother's eye.  

Pearls before Swine

6    "Do not give what is holy to dogs, or throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them  

      underfoot, and turn and tear you to pieces."

The Answer to Prayers

7   "Ask and I will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened

     to you.

8    For everyone who asks, receives and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks,

      the door will be opened.'

9    Which one of you would hand his son a stone when he asks, for a loaf of bread,

10   or a snake when he asks for a fish?

11   If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more

       will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him.'

The Golden Rule

12   Do to others whatever you would have them to do. This is the law and the prophets.

The Narrow Gate

13   "Enter through the narrow gate, for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads

       to destruction, and those who enter through it are many.

14   How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life. And those who find it are few. 

False Prophets

15   "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but underneath are ravenous

       wolves. 

16   By their fruits you will know them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs

       from thistles?

17   Just so, every good tree bears bad fruit, nor can a rotten tree bear bad fruit.

18   A good tree cannot bears bad fruit, nor can a rotten tree bear good fruit.

19   Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

20   So by their fruits you will know them."

The True Disciple

21   "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only

       the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.

22   Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophecy in your name? Did we not

       drive out demons in your name?' Did we not to mighty deeds in your name.

23   Them I will declare to them solemnly, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you evildoers.'

The Two Foundations

24   "Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who

       built his house on rock.

25   The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. But it did not

       collapse; it had been set solidly on rock.

26   And everyone who listen to these words of mine but does not act on them will be like a fool

       who built his house on sand.

27   The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. And  it collapsed

       and was completely ruined."

28   When Jesus finished these words, the crowds were astonished at his teaching,

29   For the taught them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.
