King James Version
Matthew 7:12-20
King James Version
12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Matthew 7:12-20
New International Version
12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you,(A) for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.(B)
The Narrow and Wide Gates
13 “Enter through the narrow gate.(C) For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
True and False Prophets
15 “Watch out for false prophets.(D) They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.(E) 16 By their fruit you will recognize them.(F) Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?(G) 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.(H) 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.(I) 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
