Matthew 7:12-17

12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

13 Enter ye in at the strait^[a] 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^[b] strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

15 Beware* of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits*. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
