Матей 7
Библия, нов превод от оригиналните езици (с неканоничните книги)
Да не осъждаме ближния
7 (A)(B)„Не осъждайте, за да не бъдете осъдени, 2 (C)защото, както вие съдите, така и Бог вас ще съди, и с каквато мярка мерите, с такава ще ви се отмери. 3 И защо виждаш сламката в окото на брат си, а не забелязваш гредата в своето око? 4 Или как дръзваш да кажеш на брат си: ‘Нека да извадя сламката от окото ти’, когато в твоето око има греда? 5 Лицемерецо, първо извади гредата от своето око и тогава ще видиш ясно как да извадиш сламката от окото на брат си.
6 Не давайте светинята на псетата, нито хвърляйте бисерите си пред свинете, да не би да ги стъпчат с краката си и като се обърнат, да ви разкъсат.“
Поощрение за молитва и златно правило за живот
7 (D)(E)„Искайте и ще ви се даде, търсете и ще намерите, хлопайте и ще ви се отвори, 8 защото всеки, който иска, получава, и който търси, намира, и на този, който хлопа, ще се отвори. 9 Има ли между вас човек, който, когато синът му поиска хляб, да му даде камък, 10 и когато поиска риба, да му даде змия? 11 (F)И тъй, ако вие, колкото и да сте лоши, знаете да давате добри неща на децата си, то колко повече вашият небесен Отец ще даде добри неща на онези, които искат от Него!
12 (G)И тъй, правете на другите това, което искате те да ви правят, защото това е, на което Законът и Пророците учат.“
Двата пътя
13 „Влезте през тясната врата, защото широка е вратата и просторен е пътят, които водят към погибел, и мнозина минават през тях, 14 (H)защото тясна е вратата и стеснен е пътят, които водят към живота[a], и малцина ги намират.“
Предпазване от лъжепророци
15 (I)„Пазете се от лъжливите пророци; те идват при вас в овча кожа, а отвътре са вълци грабители. 16 (J)По плодовете им ще ги познаете. Бере ли се грозде от тръни или смокини от репей? 17 (K)Така всяко добро дърво дава добри плодове, а лошото дърво дава лоши плодове. 18 Добро дърво не може да дава лоши плодове, нито лошо дърво да дава добри плодове. 19 (L)Всяко дърво, което не дава добър плод, се отсича и се хвърля в огън. 20 (M)И тъй, по плодовете им ще ги познаете.“
Осъждане на лъжливо изповядване
21 „Не всеки, който Ми казва: ‘Господи, Господи!’, ще влезе в небесното царство, а онзи, който изпълнява волята на Моя небесен Отец. 22 (N)Мнозина ще Ми кажат в съдния ден: ‘Господи, Господи, не пророкувахме ли в Твое име? И не изгонвахме ли бесове в Твое име? И не правехме ли много чудни дела в Твое име?’ 23 (O)И тогава ще им кажа открито: ‘Никога не съм ви познавал. Махнете се от Мене вие, които вършите беззаконие’!“
Една е правилната основа
24 (P)(Q)„И тъй, всеки, който слуша тези Мои думи и ги изпълнява, ще го оприлича на благоразумен човек, който си изгради къща на камък; 25 и заваля дъжд, придойдоха реки и духнаха ветрове, и връхлетяха върху къщата, а тя не рухна, защото основата ѝ беше положена върху камък. 26 А всеки, който слуша тези Мои думи и не ги изпълнява, ще се оприличи на глупав човек, който си изгради къща на пясък; 27 и заваля дъжд, и придойдоха реки, и духнаха ветрове, и се устремиха върху къщата, и тя рухна и се срути напълно.“
28 (R)И след като Иисус изрече тези слова, множеството се чудеше на учението Му, 29 защото Той ги поучаваше като такъв, който има власт, а не като книжниците и фарисеите.

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.

Revised Standard Version
Judging Others
7 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. 3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but 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.
Profaning the Holy
6 “Do not give dogs what is holy; and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under foot and turn to attack you.
Ask, Search, Knock
7 “Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or what man of 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 serpent? 11 If you then, who are 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 So whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them; for this is the law and the prophets.
The Narrow Gate
13 “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 the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
A Tree and Its Fruit
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles? 17 So, every sound tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears evil fruit. 18 A sound tree cannot bear evil fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus you will know them by their fruits.
Concerning Self-Deception
21 “Not every one who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers.’
Hearers and Doers
24 “Every one then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house upon the rock; 25 and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And every one who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house upon 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.”
28 And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, 29 for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.
