MSG
1"Don't pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults—unless, of course, you want the same treatment.
WEB
1“Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged.
MSG
2That critical spirit has a way of boomeranging.
WEB
2For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you 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.
WEB
3Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam 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?
WEB
4Or how will you tell your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye;’ and behold, the beam 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.
WEB
5You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove 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.
WEB
6“Don’t give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they 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.
WEB
7“Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.
MSG
8This isn't a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game we're in.
WEB
8For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
MSG
9If your child asks for bread, do you trick him with sawdust?
WEB
9Or who is there among you, who, 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?
WEB
10Or if he asks for a fish, who 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?
WEB
11If you then, being 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.
WEB
12Therefore whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do 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.
WEB
13“Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it.
MSG
14The way to life—to God!—is vigorous and requires total attention.
WEB
14How narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those 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.
WEB
15“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening 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.
WEB
16By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
MSG—
WEB
17Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.
MSG—
WEB
18A good tree can’t produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
MSG—
WEB
19Every tree that doesn’t grow good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.
MSG—
WEB
20Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
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.
WEB
21Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into 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.'
WEB
22Many will tell me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?’
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.'
WEB
23Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’
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.
WEB
24“Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock.
MSG
25Rain poured down, the river flooded, a tornado hit—but nothing moved that house. It was fixed to the rock.
WEB
25The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it didn’t fall, for it was 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.
WEB
26Everyone who hears these words of mine, and doesn’t 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."
WEB
27The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on 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.
WEB
28When Jesus had finished saying these things, the multitudes 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.
WEB
29for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.
