First prōton take ekballō the ho log dokos out ek of ho your own sy eye ophthalmos, and kai then tote you will be able to see diablepō clearly to remove ekballō the ho speck karphos out ek of ho your sy brother’ s adelphos eye ophthalmos. · ho
6 “ Do not mē give didōmi what ho is holy hagios to ho dogs kyōn, and mēde do not throw ballō · ho your hymeis pearls margaritēs in front emprosthen of ho pigs choiros, lest mēpote the pigs trample katapateō them autos under en · ho their autos feet pous, and kai the dogs turn strephō and tear rhēgnymi you hymeis to pieces.
7 “ Ask aiteō and kai it will be given didōmi to you hymeis, seek zēteō and kai you will find heuriskō, knock krouō and kai it will be opened anoigō for you hymeis. 8 For gar everyone pas who ho asks aiteō receives lambanō, and kai everyone who ho seeks zēteō finds heuriskō, and kai for everyone who ho knocks krouō it will be opened anoigō. 9 Or ē is there eimi any tis man anthrōpos among ek you hymeis who hos, if his autos son hyios should ask aiteō · ho for bread artos, would give epididōmi him autos a stone lithos? 10 Or ē · kai if he should ask for aiteō a fish ichthus, would give epididōmi him autos a snake ophis? 11 If ei then oun you hymeis, who are eimi evil ponēros, know oida how to give didōmi good agathos gifts doma to ho your hymeis children teknon, how posos much more mallon will · ho your hymeis Father patēr · ho in en · ho heaven ouranos give didōmi good agathos things to ho those who ask aiteō him autos!

13 “ Enter eiserchomai through dia the ho narrow stenos gate pylē.

15 “ Beware prosechō of apo · ho false pseudoprophētēs prophets ; they hostis come erchomai to pros you hymeis in en sheep’ s probaton clothing endyma, but de inwardly esōthen are eimi ravenous harpax wolves lykos. 16 By apo · ho their autos fruits karpos you will know epiginōskō them autos.

21 “ Not ou everyone pas who ho says legō to me egō, ‘ Lord kyrios, Lord kyrios,’ will enter eiserchomai the ho kingdom basileia of ho heaven ouranos, but alla the ho one who does poieō the ho will thelēma of ho my egō Father patēr · ho in en · ho heaven ouranos. 22 On en that ekeinos day hēmera many polys will say legō to me egō, · ho ‘ Lord kyrios, Lord kyrios, did we prophēteuō not ou prophesy prophēteuō in ho your sos name onoma, and kai in ho your sos name onoma cast out ekballō demons daimonion, and kai in ho your sos name onoma do poieō many polys mighty dynamis works ?’ 23 And kai then tote will I declare homologeō to them autos, ‘ I never oudepote knew ginōskō you hymeis; go apochōreō away from apo me egō, you who ho practice ergazomai · ho lawlessness anomia.’
24 “ Therefore oun everyone pas who hostis hears akouō these houtos words logos of mine egō, · ho and kai does poieō them autos, is like homoioō the wise phronimos man anēr, who hostis built oikodomeō his autos · ho house oikia upon epi · ho rock petra. 25 When kai the ho rain brochē came katabainō down , and kai the ho waters potamos rose erchomai, and kai the ho winds anemos blew pneō and kai beat prospiptō against · ho that ekeinos house oikia, · kai it did not ou collapse piptō because gar it had been founded themelioō on epi · ho rock petra. 26 But kai everyone pas who ho hears akouō these houtos words logos of mine egō, · ho and kai does not mē do poieō them autos, will be like homoioō the foolish mōros man anēr who hostis built oikodomeō his autos · ho house oikia on epi · ho sand ammos. 27 When kai the ho rain brochē came katabainō down , and kai the ho waters potamos rose erchomai, and kai the ho winds anemos blew pneō and kai beat proskoptō against · ho that ekeinos house oikia, · kai it collapsed piptō— and kai great megas was eimi its autos · ho fall ptōsis!”

Matthew 7
New Living Translation
Do Not Judge Others
7 “Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. 2 For you will be treated as you treat others.[a] The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged.[b]
3 “And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye[c] when you have a log in your own? 4 How can you think of saying to your friend,[d] ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye.
6 “Don’t waste what is holy on people who are unholy.[e] Don’t throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you.
Effective Prayer
7 “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.
9 “You parents—if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead? 10 Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not! 11 So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him.
The Golden Rule
12 “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.
The Narrow Gate
13 “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell[f] is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. 14 But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.
The Tree and Its Fruit
15 “Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. 16 You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. 18 A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. 19 So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. 20 Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions.
True Disciples
21 “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. 22 On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ 23 But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’
Building on a Solid Foundation
24 “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock. 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.”
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29 for he taught with real authority—quite unlike their teachers of religious law.
