Matthew 7 : 13 - 21
Chapter 7
| 13 | "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.
|
| 14 | Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
|
| 15 | "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
|
| 16 | You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?
|
| 17 | Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
|
| 18 | A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.
|
| 19 | Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
|
| 20 | Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
|
| 21 | "Not everyone who says to Me, "Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
|
And Glory be to God forever.
