Matthew Chapter 7: (Introduction to the Gospels, Coding Reference)
1Judge you not so-that you might not be judged; 2for within which a judgment you judge, you will be judged; and within which a standard of judgment you measure, ┬it will be measured-out-in-turn┬ ╔it will be measured╗ to you.
3Moreover why do you see the bit of straw, the-one within the eye of the brother of you? Moreover you are intuiting not a bearing-beam within the eye possessed-by-you. 4Or how will you say to the brother of you, dismiss you? I will cast-forth the bit-of-straw from the eye of you and lo the bearing-beam within the eye of you. 5Expounder! Cast you forth first the bearing-beam out-of the eye of you, at-that-time you will see clearly to cast-forth the bit-of-straw out-of the eye of the brother of you.
6You might not give-freely the-one sacred to the dogs, nor might you cast the pearls of you in-front-of the young-pigs lest-perchance they ╓might trample-under-foot╖ ┌will trample-under-foot┐ them, and they, having been turned, might rend you.
7Request-for-yourselves you, and it will be given-freely to you; seek you, and you will find; knock you, and it will be opened to you. 8For all the-one requesting-for-himself is receiving, and the-one seeking is finding, and to the-one knocking it will be opened;
9or who out-of you is a person whom ╓if-╖ the son of him ╓-would request-for-himself╖ ┌will request-for-himself┐ a loaf-of-bread, he will not deliver him a stone; 10┌or┐ and ╓if-╖ he ╓-would request-for-himself╖ ┌will request-for-himself┐ a fish, he will not deliver him a serpent.
11Then if you, {the-ones} base being, know to give-freely good gifts to the children of you, {within the-one} how-much more-exceedingly the father of you, the-one within the universes, will give-freely good {gifts} to the-ones {who} are requesting-for-themselves {from} him.
12Then, {the-ones} all as-much-as you would desire so-that the humanity may do to you; thus also, you, do you to them for this is the law and the prophets.
13╓Enter you╖ ┌Enter you┐ through the narrow entrance, because {the-one} wide, the entrance, and {the-one} spacious, the way, the-one leading forth into the destruction; and {the-ones} many are the-ones entering through it; 14howa {the-one} narrow, the entrance, and the way having had been squeezed, the-one leading forth, into the real-and-genuine-life, and {the-ones} few are the-ones finding it.
15Moreover be-concerned-about-messages youb from false-prophets whosoever coming towards you within a clothing of sheep, moreover from-within they are wolves, {the-ones} rapacious. 16From the fruit of them you will recognize them whether-perchance they collect ╓a cluster-of-grapes╖ ┌clusters-of-grapes┐ from thornbushes or figs from worn-tracks; 17thus all a good tree makes excellent fruit, moreover the poor-quality tree makes base fruit; 18a good tree is-being-able not to make base fruit, nor a poor-quality tree to make excellent fruit. 19All a tree not making an excellent fruit is being cut-forth, and it is being cast into a fire. 20Surely from the fruit of them you will recognize them.
21Not the-one all saying to me, Sir, sir, will enter into the dominion of the universes; but the-one doing the will of the father of me, the-one within ┌the┐ universes. 22{The-ones} many within that, the day, will say, Sir, sir did we not prophesy with the name possessed-by-you, and did we {not} cast-forth inferior-divine-beings with the name possessed-by-you, and did we {not} do many powers with the name possessed-by-you? 23And at-that-time I will concede to them because not-even-ever knowing -experientially you, The-ones working the lawlessness! Withdraw you from me.
24Then {the-one} all whosoever hears these words of me, and he is doing them; I will ╓resemble╖ ┌be resembling┐ him to a sensible man, whosoever built the house of him onto the rock. 25And the inundation descended, and the rivers came, and the winds blew, and they assaultedc that, the house; and it did not fall for it had been laid-firmly-the-foundations onto the rock.
26And all the-one hearing these words of me, and not doing them, he will be resembled to a stupid man whosoever built the house of him onto the sandy-ground. 27And the inundation descended, and the rivers came, and the winds blew, and they struck-againstc that, the house; and it fell, and its collapse was great.
28And it became when the Jesus ╓completed╖ ┌finished┐ these, the words, the crowds were being astounded upon the teaching of him, 29for he, teaching them, was as having authority and not as the scribes ┌of them┐.

aThe Greek is τί, ti, the neuter interrogative pronoun being used as an adverb meaning how.
bThe Greek is προςέχω, prosechō, meaning have besides, however the context is be alert or concerned about messages sounding true but are false or having half truths; thus the translation of be concerned about messages.
cEven though the same forces are used in verses 25 and 27 the Greek words imply a greater degree of energy in an attempt to destruct the house for verse 25 relative to verse 27. In verse 25 the Greek is προσπίπτω, prospiptō meaning literally to fall towards, i.e. attack, assault, also used to prostrate or to fall to anothers feet, and in verse 27 the Greek is προσκόπτω, proskoptō meaning literally to cut toward, i.e. strike against.
