MLV(i)
13 Enter in through the narrow gate, because wide is the gate and broad is the way, which leads to destruction and there are many who are entering through it.
14 Why is it? Narrow is the gate and pressed is the way, which is leading to life and few are those who are finding it.
15 But take-heed, stay away from false prophets, who are coming to you in sheep’s clothing, but inside are ravenous wolves. 16 You will fully know them from their fruits. They do not collect a grape-cluster from thorns or figs from thistles, do they? 17 Thus every good tree produces good fruit, but the rotten tree produces evil fruit. 18 A good tree is not able to produce evil fruit, nor is a rotten tree able to produce good fruit. 19 Every tree which is not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire. 20 Consequently, you will fully know them from their fruits. 21 Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but he who is practicing the will of my Father, the one in the heavens. 22 Many will be saying to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not: prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and practice many miracles in your name? 23 And then I will confess to them, I never knew you. Depart from me, you who are working lawlessness.
