Matthew 7:10-16 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

10. Would you give your child a snake if the child asked for a fish?

11. As bad as you are, you still know how to give good gifts to your children. But your heavenly Father is even more ready to give good things to people who ask.

12. Treat others as you want them to treat you. This is what the Law and the Prophets are all about.

13. Go in through the narrow gate. The gate to destruction is wide, and the road that leads there is easy to follow. A lot of people go through that gate.

14. But the gate to life is very narrow. The road that leads there is so hard to follow that only a few people find it.

15. Watch out for false prophets! They dress up like sheep, but inside they are wolves who have come to attack you.

16. You can tell what they are by what they do. No one picks grapes or figs from thorn bushes.
