MATTHEW VII. 12—20.

← Expository Thoughts on the Gospels — St. Matthew

12 Therefore aU 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 leadefh to destruction, and many there be whieh 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, whieh 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 ?
