9. Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask bread, will give him a stone?
10. Or if he shall ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11. If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
12. Therefore all things whatever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even 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 are who go in by it.
14. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth to life, and few there are that find it.
15. Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16. Ye shall know them by their fruits: Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles:
17. Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them,
21. Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out demons? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23. And then will I profess to them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
