Matthew Chapter 7 - | Early Church Bible

1: Judge not [G3361][G2919] that [G2443] you should not [G3361] be judged [G2919]!
2: by [G1722] what [G3739] For [G1063] judgment [G2917] you judge [G2919], you will be judged [G2919]; and [G2532] by [G1722] what [G3739] measure [G3358] you measure [G3354], it will be measured back to you [G1473].
3: But why [G5100][G1161] do you see the [G3588] speck [G2595], the [G3588] [one] in [G1722] the [G3588] eye [G3788] of the [G3588] your brother [G1473], but the [G3588][G1161] in [G1722] the [G3588] your [G4674] eye [G3788] beam [G1385] you do not [G3756] contemplate [G2657]?
4: Or [G2228] how [G4459] will you say [G2046] [to the [G3588] your brother [G1473], Allow me to cast out [G1544] the [G3588] speck [G2595] from the [G3588] your eye [G3788][G1473]; and [G2532] look [G2400], the [G3588] beam [G1385] [is] in [G1722] the [G3588] your eye [G3788][G1473]?
5: Stage-actor [G5273], cast out [G1544] first [G4412] the [G3588] beam [G1385] from [G1537] the [G3588] your eye [G3788][G1473]! and [G2532] then [G5119] you will see clearly [G1227] to cast out [G1544] the [G3588] speck [G2595] from [G1537] the [G3588] eye [G3788] of the [G3588] your brother [G1473].
6: You should not [G3361] give [G1325] the [G3588] pure ' to the [G3588] dogs [G2965]; nor [G3366] should you throw the [G3588] your pearls [G3135][G1473] before [G1715] the [G3588] swine [G5519], lest at any time [G3379] they will trample [G2662] them [G1473] with [G1722] the [G3588]ir feet [G4228][G1473], and [G2532] having turned [G4762] should tear [G4486] you [G1473].
7: Ask ! and [G2532] it will be given [G1325] to you [G1473]. Seek [G2212]! and [G2532] you will find [G2147]. Knock [G2925]! and [G2532] it will be opened to you [G1473].
8: For every one [G3956][G1063] the [G3588] asking receives [G2983]; and [G2532] the [G3588] [one] seeking [G2212] finds [G2147]; and [G2532] to the [G3588] [one] knocking [G2925] it will be opened .
9: Or [G2228] who [G5100] is it of [G1537] you [G1473], [being] a man , whom [G3739] ever [G1437] should ask the [G3588] son [G5207] of him [G1473] [for] bread , [G3361] a stone [G3037] will give [G1929] to him [G1473]?
10: And [G2532] if [G1437] a fish [G2486] he will ask for , [G3361] a serpent [G3789] will give [G1929] to him [G1473]?
11: If [G1487] then [G3767], you [G1473] being wicked [G4190], know [G1492] gifts [G1390] good to give [G1325] [to the [G3588] children [G5043] of you [G1473], how much [G4214] rather [G3123] the [G3588] father [G3962] of us [G1473], the [G3588] [one] in [G1722] the [G3588] raised-places-above (skies) '[G3772] will give [G1325] good [things] to the [G3588] [ones] asking him [G1473]?
12: All [things] [G3956] then [G3767], as much as [G3745] you should want [G2309] that [G2443] should do [G4160] to you [G1473] the [G3588] men , so [G3779] also [G2532] you [G1473] do [G4160] to them [G1473]! for this [G3778][G1063] is the [G3588] law [G3551] and [G2532] the [G3588] prophets [G4396].
13: Enter [G1525] through [G1223] the [G3588] narrow [G4728] gate [G4439]! for [G3754] spacious [G4116] [is] the [G3588] gate [G4439], and [G2532] broad [G2149] [is] the [G3588] way [G3598] the [G3588] leading unto [G1519] the [G3588] destruction , and [G2532] many [G4183] are the [G3588] [ones] entering [G1525] through [G1223] it [G1473].
14: For [G3754] narrow [G4728] [is] the [G3588] gate [G4439], and [G2532] being afflicted [G2346] [is] the [G3588] way [G3598], the [G3588] [one] leading unto [G1519] the [G3588] life [G2222], and [G2532] few [G3641] are the [G3588] [ones] finding [G2147] it [G1473].
15: And take heed [G4337][G1161] off the [G3588] lying prophets [G5578]! the ones who [G3748] come [G2064] to [G4314] you [G1473] in [G1722] garments [G1742] of sheep [G4263], but inside [G2081][G1161] they are wolves [G3074] predacious .
16: From the [G3588] fruits [G2590] of them [G1473] you will recognize [G1921] them [G1473]. Do they collect together [G3385][G4816] from thorn-bushes grapes [G4718], or [G2228] from thistles [G5146] figs [G4810]?
17: Thus [G3779] every [G3956] tree [G1186] good fruits [G2590] good [G2570] produces [G4160], but the [G3588][G1161] rotten [G4550] tree [G1186] fruits [G2590] bad [G4190] produces [G4160].
18: is not [G3756] able [G1410] tree [G1186] A good fruits [G2590] bad [G4190] to produce [G4160], nor [G3761] tree [G1186] a rotten [G4550] fruits [G2590] good [G2570] to produce [G4160].
19: All [G3956] trees [G1186] not [G3361] producing [G4160] fruit [G2590] good [G2570] are cut down [G1581], and [G2532] into [G1519] a fire [G4442] thrown .
20: Yes, it is so [G1065] -- from their fruits the [G3588][G2590] you will recognize [G1921] them [G1473].
21: Not [G3756] all [G3956] the [G3588] saying [G3004] to me [G1473], O Boss '[G2962], O Boss '[G2962], will enter [G1525] into [G1519] the [G3588] government ' of the [G3588] raised-places-above (skies) '[G3772]; but the [G3588] [one] doing [G4160] the [G3588] will [G2307] of the [G3588] father [G3962] of me [G1473], the [G3588] [one] in the [G1722] raised-places-above (skies) '[G3772].
22: Many [G4183] will say [G2046] to me [G1473] in [G1722] that [G1565] the [G3588] day [G2250], O Boss '[G2962], O Boss '[G2962], not [G3756] [in the [G3588] your [G4674] name [G3686] did we prophesy [G4395], and [G2532] [in the [G3588] your [G4674] name [G3686] demons [G1140] cast out [G1544], and [G2532] [in the [G3588] your [G4674] name [G3686] powerful [works [G1411] many [G4183] do [G4160]?
23: And [G2532] then [G5119] I will acknowledge [G3670] to them [G1473] that [G3754], At no time [G3763] I knew [G1097] you [G1473]. Retreat from me [G1473]! O ones the [G3588] working [G2038] the [G3588] lawlessness .
24: Every one [G3956] then [G3767] whoever [G3748] hears my [G1473] the [G3588] words [G3056] these [G3778], and [G2532] does [G4160] them [G1473], I will liken [G3666] him [G1473] man to a practical [G5429], one who [G3748] built [G3618] the [G3588] his house [G3614][G1473] upon [G1909] the [G3588] rock [G4073].
25: And [G2532] came down [G2597] the [G3588] rain [G1028], and [G2532] came [G2064] the [G3588] rivers [G4215], and [G2532] blew [G4154] the [G3588] winds , and [G2532] they fell on [G4363] the [G3588] that house [G3614][G1565], and [G2532] it did not [G3756] fall [G4098]; for the foundation was laid [G2311][G1063] upon [G1909] the [G3588] rock [G4073].
26: And [G2532] all [G3956] the [G3588] hearing my [G1473] the [G3588] words [G3056] these [G3778], and [G2532] not [G3361] doing [G4160] them [G1473], will be likened [G3666] man to a moronish [G3474], one who [G3748] built [G3618] the [G3588] his house [G3614][G1473] upon [G1909] the [G3588] sand .
27: And [G2532] came down [G2597] the [G3588] rain [G1028], and [G2532] came [G2064] the [G3588] rivers [G4215], and [G2532] blew [G4154] the [G3588] winds , and [G2532] they struck against [G4350] the [G3588] that house [G3614][G1565], and [G2532] it fell [G4098], and [G2532] was the [G3588] downfall [G4431] its [G1473] great [G3173].
28: And [G2532] it came to pass [G1096] when [G3753] Jesus [G2424] ("I AM Salvation, successor to Moses" [H3091]) completed [G4931] the [G3588]the [G3588] words [G3056] these [G3778], were overwhelmed [G1605] the [G3588] crowds [G3793] by [G1909] the [G3588] his teaching [G1322][G1473];
29: for he was [G1063] teaching [G1321] them [G1473] as [G5613] authority [G1849] one having [G2192], and [G2532] not [G3756] as [G5613] the [G3588] scholars (scribes) '[G1122] (soferim [H5613]).
