| Matthew 7:2 | for with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to 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 | 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? | 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, Allow [me], I will cast out the mote from thine eye; and behold, the beam is in thine 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 | 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. | 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 to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the swine, lest they trample them with their feet, and turning round 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 to you. Seek, and ye shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to 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 asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks 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 of him a loaf of bread, 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 7:12 | 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. | 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 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. | 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 the gate and straitened the way that leads to life, and they are few who 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 7:24 | Whoever therefore hears these my words and does them, I will liken him to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock; | 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; |
