Matthew 7
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Judge not, that ye be not judged.
1Nolite judicare, ut non judicemini.
2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
2In quo enim judicio judicaveritis, judicabimini: et in qua mensura mensi fueritis, remetietur vobis.
3And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
3Quid autem vides festucam in oculo fratris tui, et trabem in oculo tuo non vides?
4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
4aut quomodo dicis fratri tuo: Sine ejiciam festucam de oculo tuo, et ecce trabs est in oculo tuo?
5Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
5Hypocrita, ejice primum trabem de oculo tuo, et tunc videbis ejicere festucam de oculo fratris tui.
6¶ Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
6Nolite dare sanctum canibus: neque mittatis margaritas vestras ante porcos, ne forte conculcent eas pedibus suis, et conversi dirumpant vos.
7¶ Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
7Petite, et dabitur vobis: quærite, et invenietis: pulsate, et aperietur vobis.
8For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
8Omnis enim qui petit, accipit: et qui quærit, invenit: et pulsanti aperietur.
9Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
9Aut quis est ex vobis homo, quem si petierit filius suus panem, numquid lapidem porriget ei?
10Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
10aut si piscem petierit, numquid serpentem porriget ei?
11If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
11Si ergo vos, cum sitis mali, nostis bona data dare filiis vestris: quanto magis Pater vester, qui in cælis est, dabit bona petentibus se?
12Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
12Omnia ergo quæcumque vultis ut faciant vobis homines, et vos facite illis. Hæc est enim lex, et prophetæ.
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 be which go in thereat:
13Intrate per angustam portam: quia lata porta, et spatiosa via est, quæ ducit ad perditionem, et multi sunt qui intrant per eam.
14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
14Quam angusta porta, et arcta via est, quæ ducit ad vitam: et pauci sunt qui inveniunt eam !
15¶ Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
15Attendite a falsis prophetis, qui veniunt ad vos in vestimentis ovium, intrinsecus autem sunt lupi rapaces:
16Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
16a fructibus eorum cognoscetis eos. Numquid colligunt de spinis uvas, aut de tribulis ficus?
17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
17Sic omnis arbor bona fructus bonos facit: mala autem arbor malos fructus facit.
18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
18Non potest arbor bona malos fructus facere: neque arbor mala bonos fructus facere.
19Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
19Omnis arbor, quæ non facit fructum bonum, excidetur, et in ignem mittetur.
20Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
20Igitur ex fructibus eorum cognoscetis eos.
21¶ Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
21Non omnis qui dicit mihi, Domine, Domine, intrabit in regnum cælorum: sed qui facit voluntatem Patris mei, qui in cælis est, ipse intrabit in regnum cælorum.
22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
22Multi dicent mihi in illa die: Domine, Domine, nonne in nomine tuo prophetavimus, et in nomine tuo dæmonia ejecimus, et in nomine tuo virtutes multas fecimus?
23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
23Et tunc confitebor illis: Quia numquam novi vos: discedite a me, qui operamini iniquitatem.
24¶ Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
24Omnis ergo qui audit verba mea hæc, et facit ea, assimilabitur viro sapienti, qui ædificavit domum suam supra petram,
25And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
25et descendit pluvia, et venerunt flumina, et flaverunt venti, et irruerunt in domum illam, et non cecidit: fundata enim erat super petram.
26And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
26Et omnis qui audit verba mea hæc, et non facit ea, similis erit viro stulto, qui ædificavit domum suam super arenam:
27And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
27et descendit pluvia, et venerunt flumina, et flaverunt venti, et irruerunt in domum illam, et cecidit, et fuit ruina illius magna.
28And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
28Et factum est: cum consummasset Jesus verba hæc, admirabantur turbæ super doctrina ejus.
29For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
29Erat enim docens eos sicut potestatem habens, et non sicut scribæ eorum, et pharisæi.
