Matthew 7:12-16
English Standard Version
The Golden Rule
12 “So (A)whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is (B)the Law and the Prophets.
13 (C)“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 (D)the way is hard that leads to life, and (E)those who find it are few.
A Tree and Its Fruit
15 (F)“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are (G)ravenous wolves. 16 You will recognize them (H)by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
