| Matthew 7:1 | Judge not, that ye be not judged. | Be not judges of others, and you will not be judged. | "Judge not, that you may not be judged; |
| Matthew 7:2 | For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you. | For as you have been judging, so you will be judged, and with your measure will it be measured to you. | for your own judgement will be dealt and your own measure meted to yourselves. |
| Matthew 7:3 | And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? | And why do you take note of the grain of dust in your brother's eye, but take no note of the bit of wood which is in your eye? | And why do you look at the splinter in your brother's eye, and not notice the beam which is in your own eye? |
| Matthew 7:4 | 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? | Or how will you say to your brother, Let me take out the grain of dust from your eye, when you yourself have a bit of wood in your eye? | Or how say to your brother, `Allow me to take the splinter out of your eye,' while the beam is in your own eye? |
| Matthew 7:5 | 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. | You false one, first take out the bit of wood from your eye, then will you see clearly to take out the grain of dust from your brother's eye. | Hypocrite, first take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly how to remove the splinter from your brother's eye. |
| Matthew 7:6 | 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. | Do not give that which is holy to the dogs, or put your jewels before pigs, for fear that they will be crushed under foot by the pigs whose attack will then be made against you. | "Give not that which is holy to the dogs, nor throw your pearls to the swine; otherwise they will trample them under their feet and then turn and attack you. |
| Matthew 7:7 | Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: | Make a request, and it will be answered; what you are searching for you will get; give the sign, and the door will be open to you: | "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. |
| Matthew 7:8 | for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. | Because to everyone who makes a request, it will be given; and he who is searching will get his desire, and to him who gives the sign, the door will be open. | For it is always he who asks that receives, he who seeks that finds, and he who knocks that has the door opened to him. |
| Matthew 7:9 | Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone; | Or which of you, if his son makes a request for bread, will give him a stone? | What man is there among you, who if his son shall ask him for bread will offer him a stone? |

| Matthew 7:11 | 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? | If you, then, being evil, are able to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who make requests to him? | If you then, imperfect as you are, 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! |
| Matthew 7:12 | 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. | All those things, then, which you would have men do to you, even so do you to them: because this is the law and the prophets. | Everything, therefore, be it what it may, that you would have men do to you, do you also the same to them; for in this the Law and the Prophets are summed up. |
| Matthew 7:13 | Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby. | Go in by the narrow door; for wide is the door and open is the way which goes to destruction, and great numbers go in by it. | "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad the road which leads to ruin, and many there are who enter by it; |
| Matthew 7:14 | For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it. | For narrow is the door and hard the road to life, and only a small number make discovery of it. | because narrow is the gate and contracted the road which leads to Life, and few are those who find it. |
| Matthew 7:15 | Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. | Be on the watch for false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inside they are cruel wolves. | "Beware of the false teachers men who come to you in sheep's fleeces, but beneath that disguise they are ravenous wolves. |

| Matthew 7:17 | Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. | Even so, every good tree gives good fruit; but the bad tree gives evil fruit. | Just so every good tree produces good fruit, but a poisonous tree produces bad fruit. |
| Matthew 7:18 | A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. | It is not possible for a good tree to give bad fruit, and a bad tree will not give good fruit. | A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor a poisonous tree good fruit. |
| Matthew 7:19 | Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. | Every tree which does not give good fruit is cut down and put in the fire. | Every tree which does not yield good fruit is cut down and thrown aside for burning. |

| Matthew 7:23 | And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. | And then will I say to them, I never had knowledge of you: go from me, you workers of evil. | "And then I will tell them plainly, "`I never knew you: begone from me, you doers of wickedness.' |
| Matthew 7:24 | 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: | Everyone, then, to whom my words come and who does them, will be like a wise man who made his house on a rock; | "Every one who hears these my teachings and acts upon them will be found to resemble a wise man who builds his house upon rock; |
| Matthew 7:25 | and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and if fell not: for it was founded upon the rock. | And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house, but it was not moved; because it was based on the rock. | and the heavy rain falls, the swollen torrents come, and the winds blow and beat against the house; yet it does not fall, for its foundation is on rock. |
