Judging Others

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 7:3 - “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 7:7 - “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 7:11 - If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 7:12 - So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

The Narrow and Wide Gates

True and False Prophets

(Mat 12:33; Luk 6:43–45 )
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 7:15 - “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 7:18 - A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 7:19 - Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 7:20 - Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 7:23 - Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

The Wise and Foolish Builders

(Luk 6:47–49 )
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 7:24 - “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 7:25 - The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 7:26 - But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 7:27 - The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 7:28 - When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 7:29 - because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.
