Not every one that says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but only they who do the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and ye shall find: knock, and the door shall be opened.

Beware of false prophets, who to outward appearance are sheep, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

Let your actions be such, with regard to others, as you should think reasonable with regard to yourselves, for this is the substance of the law and the prophets.

therefore, whoever heareth these instructions of mine, and puts them in practice, I will compare him to the prudent man, who built his house upon a rock:

or instead of a fish, would he give him a serpent?

is there any of you that would offer his son a stone when he ask'd for bread?

or figs of thistles? so every good tree yields good fruit: but a corrupt tree yields bad fruit.
