[2]For with what iudgement ye iudge, ye shalbe iudged: And with what measure ye meate, it shalbe measured to you agayne [No book]
[3]Why seest thou a mote in thy brothers eye, but perceiuest not the beame that is in thyne owne eye [No book]
[4]Or, howe sayest thou to thy brother: suffer me, I wyll plucke out a mote out of thyne eye: and beholde, a beame is in thyne owne eye [No book]
[5]Thou hypocrite, first caste out the beame out of thine owne eye: and then shalt thou see clearely, to plucke out the mote out of thy brothers eye [No book]
[6]Geue not that which is holy, vnto dogges, neyther caste ye your pearles before swyne, lest they treade them vnder their feete, and turning agayne, all to rent you [No book]
[7]Aske, and it shalbe geuen you: seke, and ye shall fynde: knocke, and it shalbe opened vnto you [No book]
[8]For he that asketh, receaueth: and he that seketh, fyndeth: and to hym that knocketh, it shalbe opened [No book]
[9]Is there any among you, which, yf his sonne aske hym bread, wyll geue hym a stone [No book]
[10]Or yf he aske fyshe, wyll he geue hym a serpent [No book]
[11]If ye then, beyng euyll, knowe to geue your chyldren good gyftes: howe much more shall your father, which is in heauen, geue good thynges, to them that aske hym [No book]
[12]Therfore all thynges, whatsoeuer ye woulde that men shoulde do to you, do ye euen so to them: For this is the lawe, and the prophetes [No book]
[13]Enter in at the strayte gate. For wyde is the gate, and brode is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in therat [No book]
[14]Because, strayte is the gate, and narowe is the way, which leadeth vnto lyfe, and fewe there be that fynde it [No book]
[15]Beware of false prophetes, which come to you in sheepes clothyng: but inwardly they are rauenyng woolfes [No book]
[16]Ye shall knowe them by theyr fruites, Do men gather grapes of thornes? or fygges of thystles [No book]
[17]Euen so, euery good tree, bryngeth foorth good fruite: But a corrupt tree, bryngeth foorth euyll fruite [No book]
[18]A good tree, can not bryng foorth bad fruite: neither can a bad tree, bryng foorth good fruite [No book]

[23]And then wyll I confesse vnto them, I neuer knewe you: Depart from me, ye that worke iniquitie [No book]
[24]Therfore, whosoeuer heareth of me these sayinges, and doeth the same, I wyll lyken hym vnto a wyse man, which buylt his house vpon a rocke [No book]
[25]And the rayne descended, and the fluddes came, and the wyndes blewe, and beat vpon that house, and it fell not, because it was grounded on a rocke [No book]
[26]And euery one that heareth of me these sayinges, and doeth them not, shalbe lykened vnto a foolyshe man, which buylt his house vpon the sande [No book]
[27]And the rayne descended, and the fluddes came, and the wyndes blewe, and beat vpon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it [No book]
