Matthew 7:13-23

Living_Oracles(i) 13 Enter in through the strait gate; for wide is the gate of perdition, broad is its way leading thither; and many are they who enter by it. 14 But how strait is the gate of life; how narrow the way leading thither; and how few are they who find it! 15 Beware of false teachers, who come to you in the garb of sheep, while inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 By their fruits you shall discover them. Are grapes gathered from thorns; or figs from thistles? 17 Every good tree yields good fruit, and every evil tree evil fruit. 18 A good tree can not yield evil fruit, nor an evil tree good fruit. 19 Every tree which yields not good fruit, is cut down, and turned into fuel. 20 Wherefore, by their fruits you shall discover them. 21 Not every one who says to me, Master, Master, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of my Father, who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, Master, Master, have we not taught in thy name, and in thy name performed many miracles? 23 To whom I will declare, I never acknowledged you. Depart from me, you who practice iniquity.
