Matthew 7

Jesus closes the Sermon on the Mount. Do not judge hypocritically; ask, seek and knock, because the Father gives good gifts. Treat others as you want to be treated. The way to life is narrow, trees are known by their fruit, and the wise build their house on the rock by doing what he says.
