Matthew 7
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
Do Not Judge
7 ‘Do not judge, so that you won’t be judged.(A) 2 For you will be judged by the same standard with which you judge others, and you will be measured by the same measure you use.(B) 3 Why do you look at the splinter in your brother’s eye but don’t notice the beam of wood in your own eye?(C) 4 Or how can you say to your brother, “Let me take the splinter out of your eye,” and look, there’s a beam of wood in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First take the beam of wood out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to take the splinter out of your brother’s eye. 6 Don’t give what is holy to dogs or toss your pearls before pigs,(D) or they will trample them under their feet, turn, and tear you to pieces.
Ask, Search, Knock
7 ‘Ask,(E) and it will be given to you.(F) Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door[a] will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds,(G) and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. 9 Who among 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 snake? 11 If you then, who are evil,(H) know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him. 12 Therefore, whatever you want others to do for you, do also the same for them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.(I)
Entering the Kingdom
13 ‘Enter through the narrow gate.(J) For the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction,(K) and there are many who go through it. 14 How narrow is the gate and difficult the road that leads to life, and few find it.
15 ‘Be on your guard against false prophets(L) who come to you in sheep’s(M) clothing(N) but inwardly are ravaging wolves.(O) 16 You’ll recognise them by their fruit.(P) Are grapes gathered from thorn bushes or figs from thistles?(Q) 17 In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit. 18 A good tree can’t produce bad fruit; neither can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19 Every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.(R) 20 So you’ll recognise them by their fruit.(S)
21 ‘Not everyone who says to me, “Lord, Lord,” will enter the kingdom of heaven,(T) but only the one who does the will(U) of my Father in heaven.(V) 22 On that day many will say to me, “Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, drive out demons(W) in your name, and do many miracles in your name? ”(X) 23 Then I will announce to them, “I never knew you. Depart from me, you lawbreakers!”[b](Y)[c]
The Two Foundations
24 ‘Therefore,(Z) everyone who hears these words(AA) of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain fell, the rivers rose, and the winds blew and pounded that house. Yet it didn’t collapse, because its foundation was on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and doesn’t act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 The rain fell, the rivers rose, the winds blew and pounded that house, and it collapsed. It collapsed with a great crash.’
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things,(AB) the crowds were astonished at his teaching,(AC) 29 because he was teaching them like one who had authority, and not like their scribes.
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.

Mateus 7
Nova Versão Transformadora
Não julguem os outros
7 “Não julguem para não serem julgados, 2 pois vocês serão julgados pelo modo como julgam os outros. O padrão de medida que adotarem será usado para medi-los.
3 “Por que você se preocupa com o cisco no olho de seu amigo[a] enquanto há um tronco em seu próprio olho? 4 Como pode dizer a seu amigo: ‘Deixe-me ajudá-lo a tirar o cisco de seu olho’, se não consegue ver o tronco em seu próprio olho? 5 Hipócrita! Primeiro, livre-se do tronco em seu olho; então você verá o suficiente para tirar o cisco do olho de seu amigo.
6 “Não deem o que é santo aos cães, nem joguem pérolas aos porcos; pois os porcos pisotearão as pérolas, e os cães se voltarão contra vocês e os atacarão.”
Oração eficaz
7 “Peçam, e receberão. Procurem, e encontrarão. Batam, e a porta lhes será aberta. 8 Pois todos que pedem, recebem. Todos que procuram, encontram. E, para todos que batem, a porta é aberta.
9 “Respondam: Se seu filho lhe pedir pão, você lhe dará uma pedra? 10 Ou, se pedir um peixe, você lhe dará uma cobra? 11 Portanto, se vocês, que são maus, sabem dar bons presentes a seus filhos, quanto mais seu Pai, que está no céu, dará bons presentes aos que lhe pedirem!”
A regra de ouro
12 “Em todas as coisas façam aos outros o que vocês desejam que eles lhes façam. Essa é a essência de tudo que ensinam a lei e os profetas.”
A porta estreita
13 “Entrem pela porta estreita. A estrada que conduz à destruição é ampla, e larga é sua porta, e muitos escolhem esse caminho. 14 Mas a porta para a vida é estreita, e o caminho é difícil, e são poucos os que o encontram.”
A árvore e seus frutos
15 “Tomem cuidado com falsos profetas que vêm disfarçados de ovelhas, mas que, na verdade, são lobos esfomeados. 16 Vocês os identificarão por seus frutos. É possível colher uvas de espinheiros ou figos de ervas daninhas? 17 Da mesma forma, a árvore boa produz frutos bons, e a árvore ruim produz frutos ruins. 18 A árvore boa não pode produzir frutos ruins, e a árvore ruim não pode produzir frutos bons. 19 Toda árvore que não produz bons frutos é cortada e lançada ao fogo. 20 Portanto, é possível identificar a pessoa por seus frutos.”
Verdadeiros discípulos
21 “Nem todos que me chamam: ‘Senhor! Senhor!’ entrarão no reino dos céus, mas apenas aqueles que, de fato, fazem a vontade de meu Pai, que está no céu. 22 No dia do juízo, muitos me dirão: ‘Senhor! Senhor! Não profetizamos em teu nome, não expulsamos demônios em teu nome e não realizamos muitos milagres em teu nome?’. 23 Eu, porém, responderei: ‘Nunca os conheci. Afastem-se de mim, vocês que desobedecem à lei!’.”
Construir sobre um alicerce firme
24 “Quem ouve minhas palavras e as pratica é tão sábio como a pessoa que constrói sua casa sobre uma rocha firme. 25 Quando vierem as chuvas e as inundações, e os ventos castigarem a casa, ela não cairá, pois foi construída sobre rocha firme. 26 Mas quem ouve meu ensino e não o pratica é tão tolo como a pessoa que constrói sua casa sobre a areia. 27 Quando vierem as chuvas e as inundações e os ventos castigarem a casa, ela cairá com grande estrondo.”
Reação ao sermão
28 Quando Jesus acabou de dizer essas coisas, a multidão ficou maravilhada com seu ensino, 29 pois ele ensinava com verdadeira autoridade, diferentemente dos mestres da lei.
