3 Nephi 14:1

And now it came to pass that

when Jesus had spoken these words

he turned again to the multitude,

and did open his mouth unto them again, saying:

Verily, verily, I say unto you,

Judge not, that ye be not judged.

3 Nephi 14:2

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged;

and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3 Nephi 14:3

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye,

but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

3 Nephi 14:4

Or how wilt thou say to thy brother:

Let me pull the mote out of thine eye —

and behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

3 Nephi 14:5

Thou hypocrite, first cast the beam out of thine own eye;

and then shalt thou see clearly to cast the mote out of thy brother's eye.

3 Nephi 14:6

Give not that which is holy unto the dogs,

neither cast ye your pearls before swine,

lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

3 Nephi 14:7

Ask, and it shall be given unto you;

seek, and ye shall find;

knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

3 Nephi 14:8

For every one that asketh, receiveth;

and he that seeketh, findeth;

and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.

3 Nephi 14:9

Or what man is there of you,

who, if his son ask bread, will give him a stone?

3 Nephi 14:10

Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

3 Nephi 14:11

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children,

how much more shall your Father who is in heaven

give good things to them that ask him?

3 Nephi 14:12

Therefore, all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you,

do ye even so to them,

for this is the law and the prophets.

3 Nephi 14:13

Enter ye in at the strait gate;

for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, which leadeth to destruction,

and many there be who go in thereat;

3 Nephi 14:14

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life,

and few there be that find it.

3 Nephi 14:15

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing,

but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

3 Nephi 14:16

Ye shall know them by their fruits.

Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

3 Nephi 14:17

Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit;

but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

3 Nephi 14:18

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit,

neither a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

3 Nephi 14:19

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit

is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

3 Nephi 14:20

Wherefore, by their fruits ye shall know them.

3 Nephi 14:21

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord,

shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;

but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.

3 Nephi 14:22

Many will say to me in that day:

Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name,

and in thy name have cast out devils,

and in thy name done many wonderful works?

3 Nephi 14:23

And then will I profess unto them:

I never knew you;

depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

3 Nephi 14:24

Therefore, whoso heareth these sayings of mine and doeth them,

I will liken him unto a wise man, who built his house upon a rock —

3 Nephi 14:25

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.

3 Nephi 14:26

And every one that heareth these sayings of mine and doeth them not

shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand —

3 Nephi 14:27

And the rain descended, and the floods came,

and the winds blew, and beat upon that house;

and it fell, and great was the fall of it.
