Bible Chapter Summary
Matthew 7 Summary
Judge Not and the Two Foundations
Do not judge lest you be judged. Remove the plank from your own eye first. Ask, seek, knock - the Father gives good gifts. The narrow gate leads to life; few find it. Beware false prophets; you will know them by their fruit. Not everyone who says Lord, Lord will enter. The wise man builds on the rock.

“Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.”
Matthew 7:7-8
“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.”
Matthew 7:24-25
“Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.”
