Matthew 7:13-23

CLV(i) 13 Enter through the cramped gate, for broad is the gate and spacious is the way which is leading away into destruction, and many are those entering through it." 14 Yet what a cramped gate and narrowed way is the one leading away into life, and few are those who are finding it." 15 Take heed of those false prophets who are coming to you in the apparel of sheep, yet inside they are rapacious wolves." 16 From their fruits you shall be recognizing them. Not from thorns are they culling grapes, nor from star thistles figs." 17 Thus every good tree ideal fruit is producing, yet the rotten tree noxious fruit is producing." 18 A good tree can not bear noxious fruit, neither is a rotten tree producing ideal fruit." 19 Every tree not producing ideal fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. 20 Consequently, from their fruits you shall surely be recognizing them." 21 Not everyone saying to Me 'Lord! Lord!' will be entering into the kingdom of the heavens, but he who is doing the will of My Father Who is in the heavens." 22 Many will be declaring to Me in that day, 'Lord! Lord! Was it not in Your name that we prophesy, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name do many powerful deeds?'" 23 And then shall I be avowing to them that 'I never knew you! Depart from Me, workers of lawlessness!'"
