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.
1 Netiesājiet, lai jūs netopat tiesāti. 2 Jo, ar kādu tiesu jūs tiesājat, ar tādu jūs tapsit tiesāti; un, ar kādu mēru jūs mērojat, ar tādu jums taps atmērots. 3 Bet ko tu redzi skabargu sava brāļa acī, bet baļķi savā acī neieraugi? 4 Jeb kā tu vari sacīt uz savu brāli: laid, es izvilkšu skabargu no tavas acs, - un redzi, baļķis tavā paša acī? 5 Liekuli, izvelc papriekš baļķi no savas acs un tad lūko izvilkt skabargu no sava brāļa acs. 6 Nedodiet svētumu suņiem un nemetiet savas pērles cūkām priekšā, ka tās ar savām kājām viņas nesamin un atgriezdamās jūs pašus nesaplosa. 7 Lūdziet, tad jums taps dots; meklējiet, tad jūs atradīsit; klaudziniet, tad jums taps atvērts. 8 Jo ikviens, kas lūdz, dabū, un, kas meklē, atrod, un tam, kas klaudzina, taps atvērts. 9 Jeb vai ir cilvēks jūsu starpā, kas savam dēlam, kad tas maizi lūdz, dotu akmeni? 10 Jeb, kad tas zivi lūdz, tam dotu čūsku? 11 Ja tad nu jūs, ļauni būdami, protat saviem bērniem dot labas dāvanas, vai tad jūsu Tēvs debesīs nedos daudz vairāk laba tiem, kas Viņu lūdz? 12 Tad nu visu, ko jūs gribat, lai cilvēki jums dara, tāpat darait arī jūs viņiem. Jo tā ir bauslība un pravieši. 13 Ieeita pa šaurajiem vārtiem, jo vārti ir plati un ceļš ir plats, kas aizved uz pazušanu, un daudz ir to, kas pa tiem ieiet. 14 Bet šauri ir vārti un šaurs ir ceļš, kas aizved uz dzīvību, un maz ir to, kas to atrod. 15 Sargaities no viltus praviešiem, kas pie jums nāk avju drēbēs, bet no iekšpuses tie ir plēsīgi vilki. 16 No viņu augļiem jums tos būs pazīt. Vai gan var lasīt vīnogas no ērkšķiem vai vīģes no dadžiem? 17 Tā katrs labs koks nes labus augļus, bet nelabs koks nevar nest labus augļus. 18 Labs koks nevar nest nelabus augļus, un nelāga koks nevar nest labus augļus. 19 Katrs koks, kas nenes labus augļus, top nocirsts un iemests ugunī. 20 Tāpēc no viņu augļiem jums tos būs pazīt. 21 Ne ikkatrs, kas uz Mani saka: Kungs! Kungs! - ieies Debesu valstībā, bet tas, kas dara Mana Debesu Tēva prātu. 22 Daudzi uz Mani sacīs tanī dienā: Kungs! Kungs! Vai mēs Tavā Vārdā neesam nākošas lietas sludinājuši, vai mēs Tavā Vārdā neesam velnus izdzinuši, vai mēs Tavā Vārdā neesam daudz brīnumu darījuši? 23 Un tad Es tiem apliecināšu: Es jūs nekad neesmu pazinis; eita nost no Manis, jūs ļauna darītāji. 24 Tāpēc ikviens, kas šos Manus vārdus dzird un dara, pielīdzināms gudram vīram, kas savu namu cēlis uz klints. 25 Kad stiprs lietus lija un straumes nāca un vēji pūta un gāzās šim namam virsū, nams tomēr nesabruka; jo tas bija celts uz klints. 26 Un ikviens, kas šos Manus vārdus dzird un nedara, pielīdzināms ģeķim, kas savu namu cēlis uz smiltīm. 27 Kad stiprs lietus lija un straumes nāca un vēji pūta un gāzās namam virsū, tad tas sabruka; un posts bija liels." 28 Un notika, kad Jēzus šos vārdus bija beidzis runāt, ļaudis izbrīnījās par Viņa mācību, 29 jo Viņš tos mācīja kā tāds, kam vara, un ne kā viņu rakstu mācītāji.
