Matthew 7
Darby Translation
7 Judge not, that ye may not be judged;
2 for with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you.
3 But why lookest thou on the mote that is in the eye of thy brother, but observest not the beam that is in thine eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Allow [me], I will cast out the mote from thine eye; and behold, the beam is in thine eye?
5 Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine eye, and then thou wilt see clearly to cast out the mote out of the eye of thy brother.
6 Give not that which is holy to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the swine, lest they trample them with their feet, and turning round rend you.
7 Ask, and it shall be given to you. Seek, and ye shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you.
8 For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you who, if his son shall ask of him a loaf of bread, will give him a stone;
10 and if he ask a fish, will give him a serpent?
11 If therefore *ye*, being wicked, know [how] to give good gifts to your children, how much rather shall your Father who is in the heavens give good things to them that ask of him?
12 Therefore all things whatever ye desire that men should do to you, thus do *ye* also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets.
13 Enter in through the narrow gate, for wide the gate and broad the way that leads to destruction, and many are they who enter in through it.
14 For narrow the gate and straitened the way that leads to life, and they are few who find it.
15 But beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but within are ravening wolves.
16 By their fruits ye shall know them. Do [men] gather a bunch of grapes from thorns, or from thistles figs?
17 So every good tree produces good fruits, but the worthless tree produces bad fruits.
18 A good tree cannot produce bad fruits, nor a worthless tree produce good fruits.
19 Every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.
20 By their fruits then surely ye shall know them.
21 Not every one who says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but he that does the will of my Father who is in the heavens.
22 Many shall say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied through *thy* name, and through *thy* name cast out demons, and through *thy* name done many works of power?
23 and then will I avow unto them, I never knew you. Depart from me, workers of lawlessness.
24 Whoever therefore hears these my words and does them, I will liken him to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock;
25 and the rain came down, and the streams came, and the winds blew and fell upon that house, and it did not fall, for it had been founded upon the rock.
26 And every one who hears these my words and does not do them, he shall be likened to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand;
27 and the rain came down, and the streams came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, and it fell, and its fall was great.
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were astonished at his doctrine,
29 for he taught them as having authority, and not as their scribes.
Mateo 7
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
El juzgar a los demás(A)
7 »No juzgéis a nadie, para que nadie os juzgue a vosotros. 2 Porque así como juzguéis se os juzgará, y con la medida que midáis a otros se os medirá.
3 »¿Por qué te fijas en la astilla que tiene tu hermano en el ojo, y no le das importancia a la viga que está en el tuyo? 4 ¿Cómo puedes decirle a tu hermano: “Déjame sacarte la astilla del ojo”, cuando tienes una viga en el tuyo? 5 ¡Hipócrita!, saca primero la viga de tu propio ojo, y entonces verás con claridad para sacar la astilla del ojo de tu hermano.
6 »No deis lo sagrado a los perros, no sea que se vuelvan contra vosotros y os despedacen; ni echéis vuestras perlas a los cerdos, no sea que las pisoteen.
Pedid, buscad, llamad(B)
7 »Pedid, y se os dará; buscad, y encontraréis; llamad, y se os abrirá. 8 Porque todo el que pide, recibe; el que busca, encuentra; y al que llama, se le abre.
9 »¿Quién de vosotros, si su hijo le pide pan, le da una piedra? 10 ¿O si le pide un pescado, le da una serpiente? 11 Pues si vosotros, aun siendo malos, sabéis dar cosas buenas a vuestros hijos, ¡cuánto más vuestro Padre que está en el cielo dará cosas buenas a los que le pidan! 12 Así que en todo tratad a los demás tal y como queréis que ellos os traten a vosotros. De hecho, esto es la ley y los profetas.
La puerta estrecha y la puerta ancha
13 »Entrad por la puerta estrecha. Porque es ancha la puerta y espacioso el camino que conduce a la destrucción, y muchos entran por ella. 14 Pero estrecha es la puerta y angosto el camino que conduce a la vida, y son pocos los que la encuentran.
El árbol y sus frutos
15 »Cuidaos de los falsos profetas. Vienen a vosotros disfrazados de ovejas, pero por dentro son lobos feroces. 16 Por sus frutos los conoceréis. ¿Acaso se recogen uvas de los espinos o higos de los cardos? 17 Del mismo modo, todo árbol bueno da fruto bueno, pero el árbol malo da fruto malo. 18 Un árbol bueno no puede dar fruto malo, y un árbol malo no puede dar fruto bueno. 19 Todo árbol que no da buen fruto se corta y se arroja al fuego. 20 Así que por sus frutos los conoceréis.
21 »No todo el que me dice: “Señor, Señor”, entrará en el reino de los cielos, sino solo el que hace la voluntad de mi Padre que está en el cielo. 22 Muchos me dirán en aquel día: “Señor, Señor, ¿no profetizamos en tu nombre, y en tu nombre expulsamos demonios e hicimos muchos milagros?” 23 Entonces les diré claramente: “Jamás os conocí. ¡Alejaos de mí, hacedores de maldad!”
El prudente y el insensato(C)
24 »Por tanto, todo el que me oye estas palabras y las pone en práctica es como un hombre prudente que construyó su casa sobre la roca. 25 Vinieron las lluvias, crecieron los ríos, y soplaron los vientos y azotaron aquella casa; con todo, la casa no se derrumbó porque estaba cimentada sobre la roca. 26 Pero todo el que me oye estas palabras y no las pone en práctica es como un hombre insensato que construyó su casa sobre la arena. 27 Vino la lluvia, crecieron los ríos, soplaron los vientos y azotaron aquella casa. Esta se derrumbó, y grande fue su ruina».
28 Cuando Jesús terminó de decir estas cosas, las multitudes se asombraron de su enseñanza, 29 porque les enseñaba como quien tiene autoridad, y no como los maestros de la ley.
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.
