GOLDEN RULE
----Matthew 7:12-23---
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 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 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.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit,
neither [can] a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good
fruit
is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know
them.
21 ¶ Not every one that saith unto me, Lord,
Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he
that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord,
Lord,
have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name
have cast out devils? and in thy name done many
wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never
knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
