Matthew 7
American Standard 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 unto you. 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 cast out the mote out of thine eye; and lo, the beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, cast out first 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 your pearls before the swine, lest haply they trample them under their feet, and turn 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, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone; 10 or if he shall ask for a fish, will 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 who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? 12 All things therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, even so do ye also unto them: for this is the law and the prophets.
13 Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide [a]is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby. 14 [b]For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. 16 By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the 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 Therefore 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 who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many [c]mighty works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24 Every one therefore that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, who built his house upon the 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 the rock. 26 And every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand: 27 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof.
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching: 29 for he taught them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.

Mateo 7
La Palabra (España)
No juzgar a la ligera (Lc 6,37-38.41-42)
7 No juzguéis a nadie, para que Dios no os juzgue a vosotros. 2 Porque del mismo modo que juzguéis a los demás, os juzgará Dios a vosotros, y os medirá con la misma medida con que vosotros midáis a los demás. 3 ¿Por qué miras la brizna que tiene tu hermano en su ojo y no te fijas en el tronco que tienes en el tuyo? 4 ¿Cómo podrás decirle a tu hermano: “Deja que te saque la brizna que tienes en el ojo”, cuando tienes un tronco en el tuyo? 5 ¡Hipócrita! Saca primero el tronco de tu ojo, y entonces podrás ver con claridad para sacar la brizna del ojo de tu hermano.
6 No entreguéis las cosas sagradas a los perros, ni echéis vuestras perlas a los cerdos, pues las pisotearán y, revolviéndose, os harán pedazos.
Orar con confianza (Lc 11,9-13)
7 Pedid, y Dios os atenderá; buscad, y encontraréis; llamad, y Dios os abrirá la puerta. 8 Pues todo el que pide, recibe, y el que busca, encuentra, y al que llama, Dios le abrirá la puerta. 9 ¿Quién de vosotros, si su hijo le pide pan, le dará una piedra? 10 ¿O si le pide pescado, le dará una serpiente? 11 Pues si vosotros, que sois malos, sabéis dar cosas buenas a vuestros hijos, ¡cuánto más vuestro Padre que está en los cielos se las dará también a quienes se las pidan!
La regla de oro (Lc 6,31)
12 Portaos en todo con los demás como queréis que los demás se porten con vosotros. ¡En esto consisten la ley de Moisés y las enseñanzas de los profetas!
Dos puertas y dos caminos (Lc 13,24)
13 Entrad por la puerta estrecha. La puerta que conduce a la perdición es ancha, y el camino fácil, y muchos son los que pasan por ellos. 14 En cambio, es estrecha la puerta y angosto el camino que llevan a la vida, y son pocos los que los encuentran.
Los falsos profetas (Lc 6,43-44)
15 Tened cuidado con los falsos profetas. Se acercan a vosotros haciéndose pasar por ovejas, cuando en realidad son lobos feroces. 16 Por sus frutos los conoceréis, pues no pueden recogerse uvas de los espinos, ni higos de los cardos. 17 Todo árbol sano da buenos frutos, mientras que el árbol enfermo da frutos malos. 18 Por el contrario, el árbol sano no puede dar fruto malo, como tampoco puede dar buen fruto el árbol enfermo. 19 Los árboles que dan mal fruto se cortan y se hace una hoguera con ellos. 20 Así pues, también vosotros conoceréis a los falsos profetas por sus frutos.
Entrar o no entrar en el reino de los cielos (Lc 6,46; 13,25-27)
21 No todos los que dicen: “Señor, Señor” entrarán en el reino de los cielos, sino los que hacen la voluntad de mi Padre que está en los cielos. 22 Muchos me dirán en el día del juicio: “Señor, Señor, mira que en tu nombre hemos anunciado el mensaje de Dios, y en tu nombre hemos expulsado demonios, y en tu nombre hemos hecho muchos milagros”. 23 Pero yo les contestaré: “Me sois totalmente desconocidos. ¡Apartaos de mí, pues os habéis pasado la vida haciendo el mal!”.
Parábola de los dos cimientos (Lc 6,47-49)
24 Todo aquel que escucha mis palabras y obra en consecuencia, puede compararse a una persona sensata que construyó su casa sobre un cimiento de roca viva. 25 Vinieron las lluvias, se desbordaron los ríos y los vientos soplaron violentamente contra la casa; pero no cayó, porque estaba construida sobre un cimiento de roca viva. 26 En cambio, todo aquel que escucha mis palabras, pero no obra en consecuencia, puede compararse a una persona necia que construyó su casa sobre un terreno arenoso. 27 Vinieron las lluvias, se desbordaron los ríos y los vientos soplaron violentamente contra la casa que se hundió terminando en ruina total.
Conclusión del discurso
28 Cuando Jesús terminó este discurso, la gente estaba profundamente impresionada por sus enseñanzas, 29 porque los enseñaba con verdadera autoridad y no como los maestros de la ley.
Matthew 7
Darby Translation
7 Judge not, that ye may not be judged;
2 for with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you.
3 But why lookest thou on the mote that is in the eye of thy brother, but observest not the beam that is in thine eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Allow [me], I will cast out the mote from thine eye; and behold, the beam is in thine eye?
5 Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine eye, and then thou wilt see clearly to cast out the mote out of the eye of thy brother.
6 Give not that which is holy to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the swine, lest they trample them with their feet, and turning round rend you.
7 Ask, and it shall be given to you. Seek, and ye shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you.
8 For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you who, if his son shall ask of him a loaf of bread, will give him a stone;
10 and if he ask a fish, will give him a serpent?
11 If therefore *ye*, being wicked, know [how] to give good gifts to your children, how much rather shall your Father who is in the heavens give good things to them that ask of him?
12 Therefore all things whatever ye desire that men should do to you, thus do *ye* also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets.
13 Enter in through the narrow gate, for wide the gate and broad the way that leads to destruction, and many are they who enter in through it.
14 For narrow the gate and straitened the way that leads to life, and they are few who find it.
15 But beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but within are ravening wolves.
16 By their fruits ye shall know them. Do [men] gather a bunch of grapes from thorns, or from thistles figs?
17 So every good tree produces good fruits, but the worthless tree produces bad fruits.
18 A good tree cannot produce bad fruits, nor a worthless tree produce good fruits.
19 Every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.
20 By their fruits then surely ye shall know them.
21 Not every one who says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but he that does the will of my Father who is in the heavens.
22 Many shall say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied through *thy* name, and through *thy* name cast out demons, and through *thy* name done many works of power?
23 and then will I avow unto them, I never knew you. Depart from me, workers of lawlessness.
24 Whoever therefore hears these my words and does them, I will liken him to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock;
25 and the rain came down, and the streams came, and the winds blew and fell upon that house, and it did not fall, for it had been founded upon the rock.
26 And every one who hears these my words and does not do them, he shall be likened to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand;
27 and the rain came down, and the streams came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, and it fell, and its fall was great.
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were astonished at his doctrine,
29 for he taught them as having authority, and not as their scribes.
