The Newe Testament (Tyndale, 1526)

righteousness thereof / and all these things shall be ministered unto you. Do not worry, therefore, for the following day. For the following day shall care for itself. Each day’s trouble is sufficient for that same day.

¶ The VII. Chapter.

¶ Judge not, lest you be judged. For as you judge, so shall you be judged. And with what measure you measure / with the same shall it be measured to you again. Why do you see a mote in your brother’s eye / and perceive not the beam that is in your own eye? Or why do you say to your brother: allow me to pluck out a mote out of your eye / and behold, a beam is in your own eye? Hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of your own eye / and then shall you see clearly to pluck out the mote out of your brother’s eye.

¶ Give not that which is holy to dogs / neither cast your pearls before swine / lest they tread them under their feet / and the others turn again and completely tear you.

¶ Ask, and it shall be given you. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For whosoever asks receives / and he that seeks finds / and to him that knocks, it shall be opened. Is there any man among you who would proffer his son a stone if he asked him for bread? Or if he asked for fish, would he proffer him a serpent?

¶ Beware of false prophets / who come to you in sheep’s clothing / but inwardly they are ravening wolves. You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns? Or figs of briars? Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit. But a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth bad fruit: nor yet can a bad tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that brings not forth good fruit shall be hewn down / and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them. Not all they that say unto me, Master, Master, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that fulfills my father’s will which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Master, Master, have we not in your name prophesied? And in your name have we not cast out devils? And in your name have we not done many miracles? And then will I acknowledge unto them that I never knew them. Depart from me, you workers of iniquity.

¶ Whosoever hears of me these sayings and does the same, I will liken him unto a wise man who built his house on a rock: and
