Matthew 7:12-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² All things therefore whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you also to them. For this is the law and the prophets.

¹³ Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat.

¹⁴ How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it!

¹⁵ Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

¹⁶ By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

¹⁷ Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

¹⁸ A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit.

¹⁹ Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire.

²⁰ Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.

²¹ Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.
