ESV
MSG
1"Don't pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults—unless, of course, you want the same treatment.
ESV
1“Judge not, that you be not judged.
MSG
2That critical spirit has a way of boomeranging.
ESV
2For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.
MSG
3It's easy to see a smudge on your neighbor's face and be oblivious to the ugly sneer on your own.
ESV
3Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
MSG
4Do you have the nerve to say, 'Let me wash your face for you,' when your own face is distorted by contempt?
ESV
4Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye?
MSG
5It's this whole traveling road-show mentality all over again, playing a holier-than-thou part instead of just living your part. Wipe that ugly sneer off your own face, and you might be fit to offer a washcloth to your neighbor.
ESV
5You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
MSG
6"Don't be flip with the sacred. Banter and silliness give no honor to God. Don't reduce holy mysteries to slogans. In trying to be relevant, you're only being cute and inviting sacrilege.
ESV
6“Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you.
MSG
7"Don't bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you need.
ESV
7“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
MSG
8This isn't a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game we're in.
ESV
8For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
MSG
9If your child asks for bread, do you trick him with sawdust?
ESV
9Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?
MSG
10If he asks for fish, do you scare him with a live snake on his plate?
ESV
10Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent?
MSG
11As bad as you are, you wouldn't think of such a thing. You're at least decent to your own children. So don't you think the God who conceived you in love will be even better?
ESV
11If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
MSG
12"Here is a simple, rule-of-thumb guide for behavior: Ask yourself what you want people to do for you, then grab the initiative and do it for them. Add up God's Law and Prophets and this is what you get.
ESV
12“So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
MSG
13"Don't look for shortcuts to God. The market is flooded with surefire, easygoing formulas for a successful life that can be practiced in your spare time. Don't fall for that stuff, even though crowds of people do.
ESV
13“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.
MSG
14The way to life—to God!—is vigorous and requires total attention.
ESV
14For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
MSG
15"Be wary of false preachers who smile a lot, dripping with practiced sincerity. Chances are they are out to rip you off some way or other. Don't be impressed with charisma; look for character.
ESV
15“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
MSG
16Who preachers are is the main thing, not what they say. A genuine leader will never exploit your emotions or your pocketbook. These diseased trees with their bad apples are going to be chopped down and burned.
ESV
16You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
MSG—
ESV
17So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit.
MSG—
ESV
18A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit.
MSG—
ESV
19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
MSG—
ESV
20Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.
MSG
21"Knowing the correct password—saying 'Master, Master,' for instance—isn't going to get you anywhere with me. What is required is serious obedience—doing what my Father wills.
ESV
21“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
MSG
22I can see it now—at the Final Judgment thousands strutting up to me and saying, 'Master, we preached the Message, we bashed the demons, our God-sponsored projects had everyone talking.'
ESV
22On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’
MSG
23And do you know what I am going to say? 'You missed the boat. All you did was use me to make yourselves important. You don't impress me one bit. You're out of here.'
ESV
23And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
MSG
24"These words I speak to you are not incidental additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundational words, words to build a life on. If you work these words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who built his house on solid rock.
ESV
24“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
MSG
25Rain poured down, the river flooded, a tornado hit—but nothing moved that house. It was fixed to the rock.
ESV
25And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.
MSG
26"But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don't work them into your life, you are like a stupid carpenter who built his house on the sandy beach.
ESV
26And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
MSG
27When a storm rolled in and the waves came up, it collapsed like a house of cards."
ESV
27And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
MSG
28When Jesus concluded his address, the crowd burst into applause. They had never heard teaching like this.
ESV
28And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching,
MSG
29It was apparent that he was living everything he was saying—quite a contrast to their religion teachers! This was the best teaching they had ever heard.
ESV
29for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.
