Matthew 7:13–23

¹³Enter in through the narrow gate, for wide the gate and broad the way that leads to destruction, and many are they who enter in through it. ¹⁴For narrow the gate and straitened the way that leads to life, and they are few who find it.

¹⁵But beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but within are ravening wolves. ¹⁶By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather a bunch of grapes from thorns, or from thistles figs? ¹⁷So every good tree produces good fruits, but the worthless tree produces bad fruits. ¹⁸A good tree cannot produce bad fruits, nor a worthless tree produce good fruits. ¹⁹Every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire. ²⁰By their fruits then surely ye shall know them.

²¹Not every one who says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but he that does the will of my Father who is in the heavens. ²²Many shall say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied through thy name, and through thy name cast out demons, and through thy name done many works of power? ²³and then will I avow unto them, I never knew you. Depart from me, workers of lawlessness.
