Matthew 7
Matthew 7:1
Dont judge, so that you wont be judged.
Matthew 7:2
For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.
“…the measure with which a man measures it is meted out to him…”
Sotah 8b, Soncino Press Edition
“It is even given an almost mathematical exactitude with the often reiterated belief in “measure for measure” (middah keneged middah): “all the measures [of punishment and reward] taken by the Holy One, blessed be He, are in accordance with the principle of measure for measure” (Sanh. 90a; cf. Sot. 8b); and “from the very creation of the world the Holy One, blessed be He, arranged that by the measure with which a man measures is he measured” (Gen. R. 9:11).”

Or who is there among you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?
Matthew 7:10

Matthew 7:11
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
Matthew 7:12
Therefore whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the Torah and the Prophets.
Matthew 7:13
Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it.
Matthew 7:14
How narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it.

By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
Matthew 7:17

Every tree that doesnt grow good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.

Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.

Then I will tell them, I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.
