007:006 "Give not that which is holy to the dogs, nor throw your pearls
to the swine; otherwise they will trample them under their
feet and then turn and attack you.
007:007 "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find;
knock, and the door will be opened to you.
007:008 For it is always he who asks that receives, he who seeks that finds,
and he who knocks that has the door opened to him.
007:009 What man is there among you, who if his son shall ask him
for bread will offer him a stone?
007:010 Or if the son shall ask him for a fish will offer him a snake?
007:011 If you then, imperfect as you are, know how to give good gifts
to your children, how much more will your Father in Heaven
give good things to those who ask Him!
007:012 Everything, therefore, be it what it may, that you would
have men do to you, do you also the same to them; for in this
the Law and the Prophets are summed up.
007:013 "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad the road
which leads to ruin, and many there are who enter by it;
007:014 because narrow is the gate and contracted the road which leads
to Life, and few are those who find it.
007:015 "Beware of the false teachers--men who come to you in sheep's fleeces,
but beneath that disguise they are ravenous wolves.
007:016 By their fruits you will easily recognize them.
Are grapes gathered from thorns or figs from brambles?
007:017 Just so every good tree produces good fruit, but a poisonous
tree produces bad fruit.
007:018 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor a poisonous tree good fruit.
007:019 Every tree which does not yield good fruit is cut down and thrown
aside for burning.
007:020 So by their fruits at any rate, you will easily recognize them.
