NASB
MSG
1"Don't pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults—unless, of course, you want the same treatment.
NASB
1'Do not judge so that you will not be judged.
MSG
2That critical spirit has a way of boomeranging.
NASB
2'For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, 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.
NASB
3'Why do you look at 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?
NASB
4'Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' and behold, the log is 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.
NASB
5'You 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.
NASB
6'Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
MSG
7"Don't bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you need.
NASB
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.
NASB
8'For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
MSG
9If your child asks for bread, do you trick him with sawdust?
NASB
9'Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone?
MSG
10If he asks for fish, do you scare him with a live snake on his plate?
NASB
10'Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he?
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?
NASB
11'If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good 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.
NASB
12'In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, 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.
NASB
13'Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.
MSG
14The way to life—to God!—is vigorous and requires total attention.
NASB
14'For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
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.
NASB
15'Beware of the 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.
NASB
16'You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn nor figs from thistles, are they?
MSG—
NASB
17'So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.
MSG—
NASB
18'A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit.
MSG—
NASB
19'Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
MSG—
NASB
20'So then, you will know 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.
NASB
21'Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he 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.'
NASB
22'Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?'
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.'
NASB
23'And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE 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.
NASB
24'Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to 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.
NASB
25'And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it did not fall, for 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.
NASB
26'Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on 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."
NASB
27'The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell-- and great was its fall.'
MSG
28When Jesus concluded his address, the crowd burst into applause. They had never heard teaching like this.
NASB
28When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were amazed 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.
NASB
29for He was teaching them as having authority, and not as their scribes.
