7:13-23 "Enter through the narrow gate because
the gate leading to destruction is both wide and broad and there are many
who go through it. The gate leading
to life is strait and narrow and there are few who find it. Beware of false prophets who come to you
in the clothing of sheep but inwardly they are greedy wolves. You will know them from their
fruits. People do not gather grapes
from thorns nor figs from thistles.
Every good tree produces good fruit.
But the corrupt tree produces evil fruit. A good tree cannot bear good fruit, nor a
corrupt tree produce good fruit.
Every tree that fails to produce good fruit is cut down and thrown
into the fire. Therefore you will
know them from their fruits. Not
everyone saying to me “Lord Lord” will enter into the kingdom of
heaven. But the one doing the will
of my father in heaven (will enter).
Many will say
|
to
me on that day “Lord Lord, did we
not prohesy in your name and expel demons in your name and do many mighty
works in your name?” And then I will
declare to them. “I never knew
you. Depart from me, you who were
working in lawlessness.
Everyone
therefore who hears these words from me will be like a prudent man who built his house on rock. The rain came and the rivers came and the
winds blew against that house and it did not fall, for it had been founded
on rock. And everyone hearing these
words of mine and not doing them will be likened to a foolish man who built
his house on sand. And the rain came
and the rivers came and the winds blew and beat against that house and it
fell and its fall was a great
one."
