New Vietnamese Bible
Vấn Đề Lên Án(A)
7 “Các con đừng lên án ai để khỏi bị lên án. 2 Vì các con lên án người khác thể nào, các con sẽ bị lên án thể ấy. Các con lường cho người ta mực nào, các con sẽ được lường lại mực ấy.
3 Tại sao con thấy cái dằm trong mắt anh em, nhưng không nhận ra cây xà nhà trong mắt mình? 4 Làm sao con có thể nói với anh em mình rằng: ‘Để tôi lấy cái dằm ra khỏi mắt anh,’ trong khi cây xà vẫn ở trong mắt mình. 5 Hỡi kẻ đạo đức giả, hãy lấy cây xà ra khỏi mắt mình trước, rồi mới thấy rõ để lấy cái dằm ra khỏi mắt anh em mình.
6 Đừng cho chó vật thánh, chớ ném châu ngọc cho heo, e rằng chúng sẽ giẫm dưới chân và quay lại cắn xé các con.”
Tìm Kiếm(B)
7 “Hãy xin, sẽ được; hãy tìm, sẽ gặp; hãy gõ, cửa sẽ mở cho các con. 8 Vì ai xin thì được, ai tìm thì gặp và ai gõ, cửa sẽ mở.
9 Có ai trong vòng các con, khi con mình xin bánh lại cho đá, 10 hay con xin cá, lại cho rắn chăng? 11 Nếu các con là người gian ác còn biết cho con cái mình quà tốt, huống chi Cha các con ở trên trời lại không ban điều tốt hơn cho những người cầu xin Ngài sao? 12 Vậy thì, bất cứ những gì con muốn người ta làm cho mình, hãy làm điều ấy cho họ, vì đó là Kinh Luật và Kinh Tiên Tri.”
Cổng Hẹp(C)
13 “Hãy vào cổng hẹp, vì cổng rộng và đường lớn dẫn đến hủy hoại, nhiều người đi vào đó. 14 Cổng hẹp và đường nhỏ dẫn đến sự sống, chỉ có ít người tìm thấy.”
Xem Trái Biết Cây(D)
15 “Hãy đề phòng tiên tri giả là những người đội lốt chiên đến với các con, nhưng bên trong là lang sói tham tàn. 16 Các con nhận biết người ta nhờ kết quả của họ. Không ai hái nho nơi bụi gai hay hái vả nơi bụi chà chôm. 17 Cũng vậy, cây lành sinh quả lành, cây độc sinh quả độc. 18 Cây lành không thể sinh quả độc, cây độc cũng không sinh quả lành. 19 Cây nào không sinh quả lành sẽ bị đốn và ném vào lửa. 20 Thế thì, các con nhận biết người ta là nhờ quả của họ.”
Chúa Biết Rõ(E)
21 “Không phải hễ ai nói với Ta: ‘Lạy Chúa, lạy Chúa’ đều sẽ vào Nước Thiên Đàng đâu, nhưng chỉ những người làm theo ý muốn của Cha Ta ở trên trời. 22 Vào ngày ấy, nhiều người sẽ nói với Ta rằng: ‘Lạy Chúa, lạy Chúa, chúng con đã nhân danh Ngài nói tiên tri, nhân danh Ngài trừ quỷ, nhân danh Ngài làm nhiều phép lạ.’ 23 Nhưng Ta sẽ phán cùng họ rằng: ‘Ta không biết các người, hỡi những kẻ gian ác, hãy lui ra khỏi Ta!’ ”
Hai Nền Tảng(F)
24 “Vậy, ai nghe lời Ta dạy và làm theo, sẽ giống như một người khôn ngoan xây nhà mình trên nền đá. 25 Khi mưa đổ xuống, nước lụt[a] dâng lên, cuồng phong ập đến, nhà ấy không sụp đổ vì đã được xây trên nền đá. 26 Còn ai nghe lời Ta dạy, nhưng không làm theo thì giống như một người ngu dại xây nhà mình trên cát. 27 Khi mưa đổ xuống, nước lụt dâng lên, gió bão ập đến, thì nhà ấy sụp đổ, hư hại nặng nề.”
28 Khi Đức Giê-su dứt lời, đoàn dân đông vô cùng ngạc nhiên về sự dạy dỗ của Ngài, 29 vì Ngài dạy dỗ đầy quyền uy chứ không như các giáo sư Kinh Luật của họ.

Matthew 7
King James Version
7 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
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.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
Matthew 7
New King James Version
Do Not Judge(A)
7 “Judge[a] (B)not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what [b]judgment you judge, you will be judged; (C)and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3 (D)And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
6 (E)“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.
Keep Asking, Seeking, Knocking(F)
7 (G)“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For (H)everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9 (I)Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If you then, (J)being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! 12 Therefore, (K)whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for (L)this is the Law and the Prophets.
The Narrow Way(M)
13 (N)“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 [c]Because narrow is the gate and [d]difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
You Will Know Them by Their Fruits(O)
15 (P)“Beware of false prophets, (Q)who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 (R)You will know them by their fruits. (S)Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, (T)every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 (U)Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
I Never Knew You(V)
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, (W)‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who (X)does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we (Y)not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And (Z)then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; (AA)depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
Build on the Rock(AB)
24 “Therefore (AC)whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”
28 And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that (AD)the people were astonished at His teaching, 29 (AE)for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

Judging Others
7 (A)“Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 (B)For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and (C)with the measure you use it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but (D)do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
6 (E)“Do not give (F)dogs what is holy, and do not throw your (G)pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you.
Ask, and It Will Be Given
7 (H)“Ask, (I)and it will be given to you; (J)seek, and you will find; (K)knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or which one of you, if his son asks him for (L)bread, will give him (M)a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11 If you then, (N)who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will (O)your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
The Golden Rule
12 “So (P)whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is (Q)the Law and the Prophets.
13 (R)“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy[a] that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and (S)the way is hard that leads to life, and (T)those who find it are few.
A Tree and Its Fruit
15 (U)“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are (V)ravenous wolves. 16 You will recognize them (W)by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 So, (X)every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. 18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. 19 (Y)Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus you will recognize them (Z)by their fruits.
I Never Knew You
21 (AA)“Not everyone who (AB)says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will (AC)enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who (AD)does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 (AE)On that day (AF)many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not (AG)prophesy in your name, and cast out demons (AH)in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 (AI)And then will I declare to them, ‘I (AJ)never knew you; (AK)depart from me, (AL)you workers of lawlessness.’
Build Your House on the Rock
24 (AM)“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like (AN)a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like (AO)a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
The Authority of Jesus
28 And when Jesus finished these sayings, (AP)the crowds were astonished at his teaching, 29 (AQ)for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.
