Judging Others
(Luke 6.37Luke 38Luke 41Luke 42)1 Don't condemn others, and God won't condemn you. 2 God will be as hard on you as you are on others! He will treat you exactly as you treat them.
3 You can see the speck in your friend's eye, but you don't notice the log in your own eye. 4 How can you say, “My friend, let me take the speck out of your eye,” when you don't see the log in your own eye? 5 You're nothing but show-offs! First, take the log out of your own eye; then you can see how to take the speck out of your friend's eye.
6 Don't give to dogs what belongs to God. They will only turn and attack you. Don't throw pearls down in front of pigs. They will trample all over them.
Ask, Search, Knock
(Luke 11.9-13)7 Ask, and you will receive. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened for you. 8 Everyone who asks will receive. Everyone who searches will find. And the door will be opened for everyone who knocks.
9 Would any of you give your hungry child a stone, if the child asked for some bread? 10 Would you give your child a snake if the child asked for a fish? 11 As bad as you are, you still know how to give good gifts to your children. But your heavenly Father is even more ready to give good things to people who ask.
12 Treat others as you want them to treat you. This is what the Law and the Prophets are all about.
The Narrow Gate
(Luke 13.24)13 Go in through the narrow gate. The gate to destruction is wide, and the road that leads there is easy to follow. A lot of people go through that gate. 14 But the gate to life is very narrow. The road that leads there is so hard to follow that only a few people find it.
A Tree and Its Fruit
(Luke 6.43-45)15 Watch out for false prophets! They dress up like sheep, but inside they are wolves who have come to attack you. 16 You can tell what they are by what they do. No one picks grapes or figs from thornbushes. 17 A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot produce good fruit. 19 Every tree producing bad fruit will be chopped down and burned. 20 You can tell who the false prophets are by their deeds.
A Warning
(Luke 13.26Luke 27)21 Not everyone who calls me their Lord will get into the kingdom of heaven. Only the ones who obey my Father in heaven will get in. 22 On the day of judgment many will call me their Lord. They will say, “We preached in your name, and in your name we forced out demons and worked many miracles.” 23 But I will tell them, “I will have nothing to do with you! Get out of my sight, you evil people!”
Two Builders
(Luke 6.47-49)24 Anyone who hears and obeys these teachings of mine is like a wise person who built a house on solid rock. 25 Rain poured down, rivers flooded, and winds beat against that house. But it was built on solid rock, and so it did not fall.
26 Anyone who hears my teachings and doesn't obey them is like a foolish person who built a house on sand. 27 Rain poured down, rivers flooded, and the winds blew and beat against that house. Finally, it fell with a crash.
28 When Jesus finished speaking, the crowds were surprised at his teaching. 29 He taught them like someone with authority, and not like their teachers of the Law of Moses.
Netiesājiet!
(Lk 6:37–38, Lk 41–42)1 Netiesājiet, lai jūs netiktu tiesāti! 2 Jo, ar kādu tiesu jūs tiesājat, ar tādu jūs tiksiet tiesāti, un, ar kādu mēru jūs mērāt, ar tādu jums tiks nomērīts. 3 Tu redzi gruzīti sava brāļa acī, bet kādēļ baļķi savā acī nepamani? 4 Un kā tu vari sacīt savam brālim: ļauj man izņemt gruzīti no tavas acs, – kad, redzi, baļķis ir tavā paša acī? 5 Tu liekuli, izņem vispirms baļķi no savas acs, tad redzēsi, kā izņemt gruzīti no sava brāļa acs. 6 Kas svēts, to nedodiet suņiem un nemetiet savas pērles cūkām priekšā, ka tās ar savām kājām pērles nesamin un suņi atgriezušies jūs nesaplosa.
Lūdz, meklē, klaudzini!
(Lk 11:9–13)7 Lūdziet, un jums tiks dots, meklējiet, un jūs atradīsiet, klaudziniet, un jums atvērs. 8 Ikviens, kas lūdz, saņem un, kas meklē, atrod, un tam, kas klaudzina, atvērs. 9 Vai starp jums ir cilvēks, kas savam dēlam, ja tas lūgs maizi, dos akmeni? 10 Vai, ja tas lūgs zivi, dos tam čūsku? 11 Ja nu jūs, ļauni būdami, saviem bērniem dodat labas dāvanas, cik daudz vairāk laba jūsu debesu Tēvs dos tiem, kas viņu lūdz. 12a Visu, ko jūs gribat, lai cilvēki jums dara, tāpat dariet arī jūs viņiem; 12b jo tā ir bauslība un pravieši.
Šaurie vārti
(Lk 13:24)13 Ieejiet pa šaurajiem vārtiem, jo plati ir vārti un plats ir ceļš, kas ved pazušanā, un daudzi pa tiem ieiet. 14 Cik šauri ir vārti un cik šaurs ir ceļš, kas ved dzīvībā, un tikai nedaudzi to atrod.
Koku pazīst pēc augļiem
(Lk 6:43–44)15 Uzmanieties no viltus praviešiem, tie nāk pie jums avju drēbēs, taču no iekšpuses tie ir plēsīgi vilki. 16 Jūs viņus pazīsiet pēc augļiem; vai tad kāds lasa vīnogas no ērkšķiem vai vīģes no dadžiem? 17 Tā katrs labs koks nes labus augļus, bet nelāgs koks nes sliktus augļus. 18 Labs koks nevar nest sliktus augļus, nedz nelāgs koks – labus. 19 Ikvienu koku, kas nenes labus augļus, nocērt un iemet ugunī. 20 Tātad pēc viņu augļiem jūs tos pazīsiet.
Es jūs nepazīstu
(Lk 13:25–27)21 Ne ikviens, kas man saka: Kungs, Kungs! – ieies Debesu valstībā, bet tas, kas dara mana debesu Tēva gribu. 22 Daudzi tajā dienā man sacīs: Kungs, Kungs! Vai mēs tavā vārdā nepravietojām? Vai mēs tavā vārdā neizdzinām dēmonus? Vai tavā vārdā daudzus brīnumainus darbus nedarījām? 23 Un tad es tiem apliecināšu: es jūs nekad neesmu pazinis, nost no manis, jūs ļauna darītāji!
Divi pamati
(Lk 6:47–49)24 Tad nu ikviens, kas šos manus vārdus dzird un dara, ir līdzināms saprātīgam vīram, kas savu namu būvējis uz klints. 25 Kad lietus nāca un straumes plūda, un vēji pūta un gāzās pār šo namu, tas nesabruka, tādēļ ka tā pamati bija likti uz klints. 26 Bet ikviens, kas šos manus vārdus dzird un nedara, ir līdzināms nejēgam, kas savu namu būvējis uz smiltīm. 27 Kad lietus nāca un straumes plūda, un vēji pūta un triecās pret šo namu, tas sabruka, un posts bija liels.” 28 Kad Jēzus šos vārdus bija pateicis, ļaudis brīnījās par viņa mācību, 29 jo viņš tos mācīja kā tāds, kam vara, un ne kā viņu rakstu mācītāji.
