7:3 And why beholdest thou look at the speck that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
7:4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the speck out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam [is] in thine own eye?
7:5 Thou Tzevua (hypocrite), first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the speck out of thy brother's eye.

7:9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask lechem, will he give him a stone?
7:10 Or if he ask a dag (fish), will he give him a serpent?
7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give tov gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in shamayim give tov things to them that ask him?
7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the Torah and Neviim.
7:13 Enter ye in at the shaar hatzarut (narrow): for wide [is] the shaar, and broad [is] the derek, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

7:17 Even so every etz tov bringeth forth pri (fruit) tov; but a etz nishchat (corrupt) bringeth forth pri ra' ah.
7:18 A etz tov cannot bring forth pri ra'ah (evil), neither [can] a etz nishchat (corrupt) bring forth pri tov.
7:19 Every etz that bringeth not forth pri tov is karate(cut off) , and cast into ha eish.
7:20 Wherefore by their perot (fruits) ye shall know them.
7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Master, Master, shall enter into the Malkut of shamayim; but he that doeth the will of my Abba which is in Shamayim.
7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Master, Master, have we not prophesied in Thy NAME? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that practice lawlessness.
7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his Bayit upon a rock:
7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that bayit; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his bayit upon the sand:
7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that bayit; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
7:28 And it came to pass, when Yeshua (ישוע) had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his teaching:
7:29 For he taught them as [one] having authority, and not as the Sophrim (scribes, teachers).
