Matthew 7
King James Version
7 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

Authorized (King James) Version
7 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.

Mateo 7
Palabra de Dios para Todos
No juzguen a los demás
(Lc 6:37-38, 41-42)
7 »No juzguen a los demás, para que Dios no los juzgue a ustedes. 2 Porque se les juzgará de la misma manera que ustedes juzguen a los demás. Con la misma medida que ustedes midan a los demás, Dios los medirá a ustedes.
3 »¿Por qué te fijas en la pajita que tiene tu hermano en el ojo, pero no te das cuenta de la viga que tienes tú en el tuyo? 4 ¿Cómo te atreves a decirle a tu hermano: “Déjame sacarte la pajita que tienes en el ojo”, mientras que en el tuyo hay una viga? 5 ¡No seas hipócrita! Primero saca la viga de tu ojo y verás mejor para poder sacar la pajita de tu hermano.
6 »No les den lo que es santo a los perros, pues se irán contra ustedes y los morderán. No les tiren tampoco perlas finas a los cerdos, pues lo único que ellos harán es pisotearlas.
Pídanle a Dios lo que necesiten
(Lc 11:9-13)
7 »No se cansen de pedir, y Dios les dará; sigan buscando, y encontrarán; llamen a la puerta una y otra vez, y se les abrirá. 8 Porque todo el que pide, recibe; el que busca, encuentra; y al que llama a la puerta, se le abrirá.
9 »¿Le daría alguno de ustedes una piedra a su hijo si le pide pan? 10 ¿O le daría una serpiente si le pide un pescado? 11 Pues si ustedes, aun siendo malos, saben cómo darles cosas buenas a sus hijos, imagínense cuánto más dispuesto estará su Padre celestial a darles lo que le pidan.
12 »Así que, traten a los demás como les gustaría que los trataran a ustedes. Ese es el verdadero significado de la ley y de la enseñanza de los profetas.
Los dos caminos
(Lc 13:24)
13 »Entren por la puerta angosta, porque ancha es la puerta y espacioso el camino que lleva a la destrucción. Mucha gente toma ese camino. 14 En cambio, la puerta que lleva a la verdadera vida es muy angosta, el camino muy duro y sólo unos pocos lo encuentran.
No se dejen engañar
(Lc 6:43-44; 13:25-27)
15 »Tengan cuidado con los falsos profetas, pues ellos están disfrazados de mansas ovejas, pero por dentro son lobos feroces. 16 Ustedes los reconocerán por la clase de fruto que den. El bien no viene de la gente mala, así como las uvas no se recogen de los espinos, ni los higos se recogen de los cardos. 17 De la misma manera, todo árbol bueno da fruto bueno, pero un árbol malo da fruto malo. 18 Un buen árbol no puede dar fruto malo ni tampoco un árbol malo puede dar fruto bueno. 19 Todo árbol que no dé fruto bueno, será cortado y echado al fuego. 20 Por eso digo que reconocerán a los falsos profetas por la clase de fruto que den.
21 »No todo el que afirma que yo soy su Señor entrará en el reino de Dios. Sólo entrará el que obedezca a mi Padre que está en el cielo. 22 Vendrá el día en que muchos me van a decir: “Tú eres nuestro Señor, nosotros profetizamos en tu nombre, y por ti echamos fuera demonios. Además hicimos muchos milagros en tu nombre”. 23 Entonces les diré claramente: “Nunca los conocí, apártense de mí, porque ustedes se dedicaron a hacer el mal”.
El prudente y el insensato
(Lc 6:47-49)
24 »Por lo tanto, quien oiga mis enseñanzas y las ponga en práctica, será como el hombre prudente que construyó su casa sobre la roca. 25 Llovió fuerte, los ríos crecieron, los vientos soplaron y golpearon contra aquella casa. Sin embargo, la casa no se cayó porque estaba construida sobre la roca. 26 Pero el que oiga mis palabras y no las ponga en práctica, será como el insensato que construyó su casa sobre arena. 27 Llovió fuerte, los ríos crecieron, los vientos soplaron y golpearon contra la casa. La casa se derrumbó y fue todo un desastre».
28 Cuando Jesús terminó de decir esto, la gente se admiraba de su enseñanza, 29 porque él les enseñaba como alguien que tiene autoridad y no como los maestros de la ley.
