Why does the spelling look unusual?

¹ Iudge not, that ye be not iudged.

² For with what iudgment ye iudge, yee shall be iudged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you againe.

³ And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brothers eye, but considerest not the beame that is in thine owne eye?

⁴ Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let mee pull out the mote out of thine eye, and beholde, a beame is in thine owne eye?

⁵ Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beame out of thine owne eye: and then shalt thou see clearely to cast out the mote out of thy brothers eye.

⁶ ¶ Giue not that which is holy vnto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearles before swine: lest they trample them vnder their feete, and turne againe and rent you.

⁷ ¶ Aske, and it shalbe giuen you: seeke, and ye shall finde: knocke, and it shalbe opened vnto you.

⁸ For euery one that asketh, receiueth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shalbe opened.

⁹ Or what man is there of you, whom if his sonne aske bread, will hee giue him a stone?

¹⁰ Or if he aske a fish, will hee giue him a serpent?

¹¹ If ye then being euill, know how to giue good giftes vnto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heauen, giue good things to them that aske him?

¹² Therefore all things whatsoeuer ye would that men should doe to you, doe ye euen 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 goe in thereat:

¹⁴ Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way which leadeth vnto life, and few there be that finde it.

¹⁵ ¶ Beware of false prophets which come to you in sheepes clothing, but inwardly they are rauening wolues.

¹⁶ Yee shall knowe them by their fruits: Doe men gather grapes of thornes, or figges of thistles?

¹⁷ Euen so, euery good tree bringeth forth good fruit: but a corrupt tree bringeth forth euill fruit.

¹⁸ A good tree cannot bring forth euil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

¹⁹ Euery tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewen downe, and cast into the fire.

²⁰ Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

²¹ ¶ Not euery one that saith vnto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdome of heauen: but he that doth the will of my father which is in heauen.

²² Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, haue we not prophecied in thy name? and in thy name haue cast out deuils? and in thy name done many wonderfull works?

²³ And then wil I professe vnto them, I neuer knew you: Depart from me, ye that worke iniquity.

²⁴ ¶ Therefore, whosoeuer heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I wil liken him vnto a wise man, which built his house vpon a rocke:

²⁵ And the raine descended, and the floods came, and the windes blew, and beat vpon that house: and it fell not, for it was founded vpon a rocke.

²⁶ And euery one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall bee likened vnto a foolish man, which built his house vpon the sand:

²⁷ And the raine descended, and the floods came, and the windes blew, and beat vpon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.

²⁸ And it came to passe, when Iesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine.

²⁹ For he taught them as one hauing authoritie, and not as the Scribes.

...by your life people will identify what kind of individual you are

Thomas Gathman's Matthew Chapter 7 comment about verse 14 on 4/17/2013, 6:41pm...

God said it.....and he is not fooling!!!

Martha Prince's Matthew Chapter 7 comment on 4/06/2013, 9:01pm...

I think Luke 6:42 explains it quite clearly.
Luke 6:42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.

In other words we should look at ourselves and our own faults first.

Dan's Matthew Chapter 7 comment about verse 3 on 4/06/2013, 12:59am...

When combined with Verses 1 & 2, the major concept seems to be a discussion of hypocrisy. "1 Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."

All of the individual points have merit on their own, but the true power of the lesson is when they are all combined.

When the above verses are cross-referenced to John 8:7 the entire concept and truth can be fully understood. In John 8:7, a prostitute was about to be stoned to death for adultery. Jesus intervened, and the crowd began questioning him. John 8:7 says, (paraphrased) "When the crowd continued to question Jesus, he stood up and said, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."

In the end, the lesson is that we are ALL sinners and fall short of God's glory. And since none of us is perfect, who are we to harshly judge others? Upon examination and reflection, few would want to be judged themselves with the same voracity that they judge others.

Stephanie's Matthew Chapter 7 comment about verse 1 on 4/05/2013, 10:27am...

I think that noone has the right to judge other people because they may not share the same opinion as you do are you think there way is not right.the only right way is God way no if and about it.

Maureen's Matthew Chapter 7 comment on 3/25/2013, 3:26am...

This chapter 7 has really touched me. We as Christians should preach the word of God every where and bring forth true believers and worshippers closer to God.

ALONZO SMITH's Matthew Chapter 7 comment about verse 14 on 3/20/2013, 2:54pm...

I think if you believe in Jesus Christ and believe that he died on the cross, for you and me, and confess that he is lord, and work toward the mark, and live with in him and follow the path of righteousness. That is all that we ought to do.

Deb's Matthew Chapter 7 comment on 3/20/2013, 12:52am...

Jesus is trying to teach you to have a true relationship with him so you will know him and his voice, and know which road to take when it comes time to stand alone at your testing if you should die... He doesn't want us to be hypocrites, but to love one another, pray for one another and beware of false prophets that can lead us astray.
