1Do not ye deem, that ye be not deemed; (Do not judge, so that ye be not judged;) 2for in what doom ye deem, ye shall be deemed, and in what measure ye mete, it shall be meted again to you. (for with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged, and by what measure ye measure, it shall be measured unto you.) 3But what seest thou a little mote in the eye of thy brother (And why seest thou a little speck in thy brother’s eye), and seest not a beam in thine own eye? 4Or how sayest thou to thy brother, Brother, suffer [that] I shall do out a mote from thine eye (Brother, allow me to take out the speck from thy eye), and lo! a beam is in thine own eye? 5Hypocrite, first do out the beam of thine eye/do thou out first the beam of thine own eye, and then thou shalt see to do out the mote of the eye of thy brother.

6Do not ye give holy thing(s) to hounds, neither cast ye your margarites before swine (nor throw your pearls to the hogs, or to the pigs), lest peradventure they defoul them with their feet, and the hounds be turned, and tear you all to pieces.

7Ask ye, and it shall be given to you; seek ye, and ye shall find; knock ye, and it shall be opened to you. 8For each that asketh, taketh (For everyone who asketh, receiveth); and he that seeketh, findeth; and it shall be opened to him, that knocketh. 9What man of you is, that if his son ask him (for some) bread, whether he will take to him a stone? (will he give to him a stone?) 10Or if he ask (for) [a] fish, whether he will give [to] him an adder? (will he give to him a snake?) 11Therefore if ye, when ye be evil men, know how to give good gifts to your sons, how much more your Father that is in heavens shall give good things to men that ask him?

12Therefore all things, whatever things ye will that men do to you, do ye to them, for this is the law and the prophets. (And so everything, whatever ye want men to do for you, do that for them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.)

13Enter ye by the strait gate (Enter by the narrow gate); for the gate that leadeth to perdition, (or to damnation), is large, and the way is broad, and there be many that enter by it. 14How strait, (or narrow), is the gate, and narrow the way, that leadeth to life, and there be few that find it.

15Be ye ware of false prophets, that come to you in clothings of sheep, but withinforth they be wolves of raven [but within they be ravishing, (or snatching), wolves]; 16of their fruits ye shall know them. Whether men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of briers? (Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from briars?) 17So every good tree maketh good fruits; but an evil tree maketh evil fruits. 18A good tree may not make evil fruits, neither an evil tree [may] make good fruits. (A good tree cannot make bad fruits, nor can a bad tree make good fruits.) 19Every tree that maketh not good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire (and shall be thrown into the fire). 20Therefore of their fruits ye shall know them.

21Not every man that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heavens; but he that doeth the will of my Father that is in heavens, he shall enter into the kingdom of heavens. 22Many shall say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, whether we have not prophesied in thy name, and have cast out fiends, (or devils), in thy name, and have done many virtues in thy name? (Many shall say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name, and have thrown out devils and demons in thy name, and have done many works of power, or many miracles, in thy name?) 23And then I shall acknowledge to them, That I knew you never; depart away from me, ye that work wickedness.

24Therefore every man that heareth these my words, and doeth them, shall be made like to a wise man, that hath builded his house on a stone. 25And rain came down, and floods came, and winds blew, and rushed into that house; and it felled not down, for it was founded on a stone. 26And every man that heareth these my words, and doeth them not, is like a fool, that hath builded his house on gravel, (or on sand). 27And rain came down, and floods came, and winds blew, and hurled against that house; and it felled down, and the falling down thereof was great.

28And it was done, when Jesus had ended these words, the people wondered on his teaching; 29for he taught them, as he that had power, and not as the scribes and the Pharisees.
