1 Iudge not, that ye be not iudged. “Judge not, that you be not judged. “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
2 For with what iudgement ye iudge, ye shalbe iudged: And with what measure ye meate, it shalbe measured to you agayne. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3 Why seest thou a mote in thy brothers eye, but perceiuest not the beame that is in thyne owne eye? Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
4 Or, howe sayest thou to thy brother: suffer me, I wyll plucke out a mote out of thyne eye: and beholde, a beame is in thyne owne eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first caste out the beame out of thine owne eye: and then shalt thou see clearely, to plucke out the mote out of thy brothers eye. You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
6 Geue not that which is holy, vnto dogges, neyther caste ye your pearles before swyne, lest they treade them vnder their feete, and turning agayne, all to rent you. “Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you. “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
7 Aske, and it shalbe geuen you: seke, and ye shall fynde: knocke, and it shalbe opened vnto you. “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
8 For he that asketh, receaueth: and he that seketh, fyndeth: and to hym that knocketh, it shalbe opened. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
9 Is there any among you, which, yf his sonne aske hym bread, wyll geue hym a stone? Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
10 Or yf he aske fyshe, wyll he geue hym a serpent? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
11 If ye then, beyng euyll, knowe to geue your chyldren good gyftes: howe much more shall your father, which is in heauen, geue good thynges, to them that aske hym? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him! If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
12 Therfore all thynges, whatsoeuer ye woulde that men shoulde do to you, do ye euen so to them: For this is the lawe, and the prophetes. “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
13 Enter in at the strayte gate. For wyde is the gate, and brode is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in therat. “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
14 Because, strayte is the gate, and narowe is the way, which leadeth vnto lyfe, and fewe there be that fynde it. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
15 Beware of false prophetes, which come to you in sheepes clothyng: but inwardly they are rauenyng woolfes. “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
16 Ye shall knowe them by theyr fruites, Do men gather grapes of thornes? or fygges of thystles? You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?

17 Euen so, euery good tree, bryngeth foorth good fruite: But a corrupt tree, bryngeth foorth euyll fruite. So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
18 A good tree, can not bryng foorth bad fruite: neither can a bad tree, bryng foorth good fruite. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
19 Euery tree that bryngeth not foorth good fruite, is hewen downe, and cast into the fyre. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 Wherfore, by theyr fruites, ye shall knowe them. Thus you will recognize them by their fruits. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
21 Not euery one, that sayeth vnto me Lorde, Lorde, shall enter into the kyngdome of heauen: but he that doeth the wyll of my father, which is in heauen. “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 Many wyll say to me in that day, Lorde Lorde, haue we not prophesied thorowe thy name? and thorowe thy name haue cast out deuyls? & done many great workes thorowe thy name? On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’
23 And then wyll I confesse vnto them, I neuer knewe you: Depart from me, ye that worke iniquitie. And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
24 Therfore, whosoeuer heareth of me these sayinges, and doeth the same, I wyll lyken hym vnto a wyse man, which buylt his house vpon a rocke: “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
25 And the rayne descended, and the fluddes came, and the wyndes blewe, and beat vpon that house, and it fell not, because it was grounded on a rocke. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.
26 And euery one that heareth of me these sayinges, and doeth them not, shalbe lykened vnto a foolyshe man, which buylt his house vpon the sande: And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
27 And the rayne descended, and the fluddes came, and the wyndes blewe, and beat vpon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.” The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
28 And it came to passe, that when Iesus had ended these sayinges, the people were astonied at his doctrine. And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching,
