Matthew 7:13–23

¹³‘Go ye in through the strait gate, because wide is the gate, and broad the way that is leading to the destruction, and many are those going in through it; ¹⁴how strait is the gate, and compressed the way that is leading to the life, and few are those finding it!

¹⁵‘But, take heed of the false prophets, who come unto you in sheep’s clothing, and inwardly are ravening wolves. ¹⁶From their fruits ye shall know them; do men gather from thorns grapes? or from thistles figs? ¹⁷so every good tree doth yield good fruits, but the bad tree doth yield evil fruits. ¹⁸A good tree is not able to yield evil fruits, nor a bad tree to yield good fruits. ¹⁹Every tree not yielding good fruit is cut down and is cast to fire: ²⁰therefore from their fruits ye shall know them.

²¹‘Not every one who is saying to me Lord, lord, shall come into the reign of the heavens; but he who is doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens. ²²Many will say to me in that day, Lord, lord, have we not in thy name prophesied? and in thy name cast out demons? and in thy name done many mighty things? ²³and then I will acknowledge to them, that—I never knew you, depart from me ye who are working lawlessness.
