Matthew 7:13–23

^13mEnter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: ^14||Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

¹⁵ⁿBeware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ^oravening wolves. ^16pYe shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? ¹⁷Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. ¹⁸A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. ^19qEvery tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. ²⁰Wherefore ^pby their fruits ye shall know them.

^21rNot every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of ⁱmy Father which is in heaven. ²²Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not ^sprophesied in thy name? and in thy name ^thave cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? ²³And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: ^udepart from me, ye that work iniquity.
