Matthew 7
Christian Standard Bible
Do Not Judge
7 “Do not judge, so that you won’t be judged.(A) 2 For you will be judged by the same standard with which you judge others, and you will be measured by the same measure you use.(B) 3 Why do you look at the splinter in your brother’s eye but don’t notice the beam of wood in your own eye?(C) 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the splinter out of your eye,’ and look, there’s a beam of wood in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First take the beam of wood out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to take the splinter out of your brother’s eye. 6 Don’t give what is holy to dogs or toss your pearls before pigs,(D) or they will trample them under their feet, turn, and tear you to pieces.
Ask, Search, Knock
7 “Ask,(E) and it will be given to you.(F) Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door[a] will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds,(G) and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. 9 Who among you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you then, who are evil,(H) know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him. 12 Therefore, whatever you want others to do for you, do also the same for them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.(I)
Entering the Kingdom
13 “Enter through the narrow gate.(J) For the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction,(K) and there are many who go through it. 14 How narrow is the gate and difficult the road that leads to life, and few find it.
15 “Be on your guard against false prophets(L) who come to you in sheep’s(M) clothing(N) but inwardly are ravaging wolves.(O) 16 You’ll recognize them by their fruit.(P) Are grapes gathered from thornbushes or figs from thistles?(Q) 17 In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit. 18 A good tree can’t produce bad fruit; neither can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19 Every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.(R) 20 So you’ll recognize them by their fruit.(S)
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven,(T) but only the one who does the will(U) of my Father in heaven.(V) 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, drive out demons(W) in your name, and do many miracles in your name?’(X) 23 Then I will announce to them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you lawbreakers!’[b][c](Y)
The Two Foundations
24 “Therefore,(Z) everyone who hears these words(AA) of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain fell, the rivers rose, and the winds blew and pounded that house. Yet it didn’t collapse, because its foundation was on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and doesn’t act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 The rain fell, the rivers rose, the winds blew and pounded that house, and it collapsed. It collapsed with a great crash.”
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things,(AB) the crowds were astonished at his teaching,(AC) 29 because he was teaching them like one who had authority, and not like their scribes.
Mateo 7
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
El juicio hacia los demás
7 »(A) No juzguen para que no sean juzgados. 2 Porque con el juicio con que ustedes juzguen, serán juzgados; y con la medida con que midan, se les medirá(B).
3 »¿Por qué miras la mota[a] que está en el ojo de tu hermano, y no te das cuenta de la viga que está en tu propio ojo(C) ? 4 ¿O cómo puedes decir[b]a tu hermano: “Déjame sacarte la mota del ojo”, cuando la viga está en tu ojo(D)? 5 ¡Hipócrita! Saca primero la viga de tu ojo, y entonces verás con claridad para sacar la mota del ojo de tu hermano.
6 »No den lo santo a los perros(E) , ni echen sus perlas delante de los cerdos, no sea que las huellen con sus patas, y volviéndose los despedacen a ustedes.
La oración recibirá respuesta
7 »(F) Pidan, y se les dará(G) ; busquen, y hallarán; llamen[c] , y se les abrirá. 8 Porque todo el que pide, recibe; y el que busca, halla; y al que llama, se le abrirá. 9 ¿O qué hombre hay entre ustedes que si su hijo le pide pan, le[d]dará una piedra, 10 o si[e]le pide un pescado, le[f]dará una serpiente? 11 Pues si ustedes, siendo malos, saben dar buenas dádivas a sus hijos, ¿cuánto más su Padre que está en los cielos dará cosas buenas a los que le piden(H)?
12 »Por eso, todo cuanto quieran que los hombres les hagan(I) , así también hagan ustedes con ellos, porque esta es la ley y los profetas(J) .
Dos puertas y dos sendas
13 »Entren por la puerta estrecha(K) , porque ancha es la puerta y amplia es la senda que lleva a la perdición[g] , y muchos son los que entran por ella. 14 Pero estrecha es la puerta y angosta la senda que lleva a la vida, y pocos son los que la hallan.
Cómo conocer a los falsos profetas
15 »Cuídense de los falsos profetas(L) , que vienen a ustedes con vestidos de ovejas, pero por dentro son lobos rapaces(M) . 16 Por sus frutos los conocerán(N). ¿Acaso se recogen uvas de los espinos o higos de los cardos? 17 Así, todo árbol bueno da frutos buenos; pero el árbol malo da frutos malos(O). 18 Un árbol bueno no puede producir frutos malos, ni un árbol malo producir frutos buenos. 19 Todo árbol que no da buen fruto es cortado y echado al fuego(P). 20 Así que, por sus frutos los conocerán(Q).
21 »No todo el que me dice: “Señor, Señor(R) ”, entrará en el reino de los cielos, sino el que hace la voluntad de Mi Padre que está en los cielos. 22 Muchos me dirán(S)en aquel día(T): “Señor, Señor, ¿no profetizamos en Tu nombre, y en Tu nombre echamos fuera demonios, y en Tu nombre hicimos muchos milagros[h]?”. 23 Entonces les declararé: “Jamás los conocí; apártense de Mí(U), los que practican la iniquidad”.
Los dos cimientos
24 »(V) Por tanto, cualquiera que oye estas palabras Mías y las pone en práctica, será semejante a un hombre sabio que edificó su casa sobre la roca; 25 y cayó la lluvia, vinieron los torrentes[i], soplaron los vientos y azotaron[j]aquella casa; pero no se cayó, porque había sido fundada sobre la roca.
26 »Todo el que oye estas palabras Mías y no las pone en práctica, será semejante a un hombre insensato que edificó su casa sobre la arena; 27 y cayó la lluvia, vinieron los torrentes[k], soplaron los vientos y azotaron aquella casa; y cayó, y grande fue su destrucción».
28 Cuando[l] Jesús terminó(W) estas palabras, las multitudes se admiraban de Su enseñanza(X); 29 porque les enseñaba como uno que tiene autoridad, y no como sus escribas.

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.
