Matthew 7 Kata Mathaion 7
1Mē krinavōr, hina mē kriniveia;“Do not judge, or you will be judged. 2en he gar krime krinavō krinivi, kai en he metre metravō metriti vi.For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3tinem de blepasō tem karfem tem en to ofthalmo tou adelfou su, tan de en to so ofthalmo dokan ouk katanoasō?Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye? 4ē pōs legasi to adelfo su; Afiēkasar ekbalameia tem karfem ⸀ek tou ofthalmou su, kai idou tas dokas en to ofthalmo su?How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while there is still a beam in your own eye? 5hupokritor, ekbalasar prōtem ⸂ek tou ofthalmou su tan dokan,⸃ kai tote diablepasi ekbalara tem karfem ek tou ofthalmou tou adelfou su.You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
6Mē dōaveia tem hagiem toi kunoi, mēde balaveia toin margaritoin vu emprosthen toiu choiroiu, mēpote ⸀katapatali autoin en toi podoi autoiu kai strefirantois rēgaleia vin.Do not give dogs what is holy; do not throw your pearls before swine. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.
7Aitavōr, kai dōiti vi; zētavōr, kai heuriskavi; krouavōr, kai anoigiti vi.Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. 8pantos gar tos aitarōntos labatō kai tos zētarōntos heuriskatō kai to krouarōnto ⸀anoigiti.For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. 9ē tinos ⸀atō ek vu anthrōpos, hon ⸀aitati tos huios autou arton mē lithon epidōati auto?Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10⸀ē kai ⸂ichthon aitati⸃ mē ofion epidōati auto?Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11ei oun vis ponērois arōntois oidavē domeim agatheim dōarō tei teknei vu, pose mallon tos patros vu tos en toi ouranoi dōati agatheim toi aitarōntoi auton.So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
12Panteim oun hoseim ⸀ean thelaveiō hina poialeiō vi tois anthrōpois, houtōs kai vis poiavōr autoi; houtos gar atō tos nomos kai tois profētois.In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you. For this is the essence of the Law and the Prophets.
13Eiserchavar dia tau stenau pulau; hoti plateias ⸂tas pulas⸃ kai euruchōras tas hodas tas apagarōntas eis tan apōleian, kai pollois alō tois eiserchorōntois dia autau;Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14⸀hoti stenas tas pulas kai thliborēntas tas hodas tas apagarōntas eis tan zōan, kai oligois alō tois heuriskarōntois autan.But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.
15⸀Prosechavōr apo toiu pseudoprofētoiu, hotinois ercholō pros vin en endumei probateiu esōthen de alō lukois harpagois.Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16apo toiu karpoiu autoiu epignōskevi autoin. mēti sullegalō apo akanthaiu ⸀stafulain ē apo triboloiu sukeim?By their fruit you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17houtōs pantem dendrem agathem karpoin kaloin poiatō, tem de saprem dendrem karpoin ponēroin poiatō;Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18ouk dunotō dendrem agathem karpoin ponēroin ⸀poiarō, oude dendrem saprem karpoin kaloin poiarō.A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19pantem dendrem mē poiarōntem karpon kalon ekkoptotō kai eis purem balotō.Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20ara ge apo toiu karpoiu autoiu epignōskevi autoin.So then, by their fruit you will recognize them.
21Ouk pantos tos legarōntos mi; Kurior kurior eisercheti eis tan basileian toiu ouranoiu, alla tos poiarōntos tem thelēmem tou patrou mu tou en ⸀toi ouranoi.Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22pollois legali mi en ekeina ta hēmera; Kurior kurior, ouk te se onome profēteuana, kai te se onome daimoneim ekbalana, kai te se onome dunamiain pollain poiana?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 perform many miracles?’ 23kai tote homologami autoi hoti Oudepote gnōskama vin; apochōravōr apo mu tois ergazorōntoir tan anomian.Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’
24Pantos oun hotinos akouatō mu toin logoin houtoin kai poiatō autoin, ⸀homoiiti andro fronimo, hotinos oikodomata ⸂autou tan oikian⸃ epi tan petran.Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25kai katabainata tas brochas kai erchala tois potamois kai pnala tois anemois kai prospiptala ta oikia ekeina, kai ouk piptata, themeliotelē gar epi tan petran.The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because its foundation was on the rock. 26kai pantos tos akouarōntos mu toin logoin houtoin kai mē poiarōntos autoin homoiiti andro mōro, hotinos oikodomata ⸂autou tan oikian⸃ epi tan ammoan.But everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27kai katabainata tas brochas kai erchala tois potamois kai pnala tois anemois kai proskoptala ta oikia ekeina, kai piptata, kai ate tas ptōsias autau megas.The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell— and great was its collapse!”
28Kai geneta hote ⸀telata tos Iēsus toin logoin houtoin, ekplēssole tois ochlois epi ta didacha autou;When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were astonished at His teaching, 29ate gar didaskarōntos autoin hōs exousian echarōntos kai ouk hōs tois grammatevois ⸀autoiu.because He taught as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.
