Genesis 13

Gen 13:1 Abram went up out of Egypt: he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South.

Gen 13:2 Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.

Gen 13:3 He went on his journeys from the South even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,

Gen 13:4 to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on the name of Yahweh.

Gen 13:5 Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.

Gen 13:6 The land was not able to bear them, that they might live together: for their substance was great, so that they could not live together.

Gen 13:7 There was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived in the land at that time.

Gen 13:8 Abram said to Lot, "Please, let there be no strife between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are relatives.

Gen 13:9 Isn't the whole land before you? Please separate yourself from me. If you go to the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right hand, then I will go to the left."

Gen 13:10 Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar.

Gen 13:11 So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves the one from the other.

Gen 13:12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.

Gen 13:13 Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against Yahweh.

Gen 13:14 Yahweh said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him, "Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,

Gen 13:15 for all the land which you see, I will give to you, and to your offspring forever.

Gen 13:16 I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then your seed may also be numbered.

Gen 13:17 Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its breadth; for I will give it to you."

Gen 13:18 Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to Yahweh.

Matthew 7

Mat 7:1 "Don't judge, so that you won't be judged.

Mat 7:2 For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.

Mat 7:3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but don't consider the beam that is in your own eye?

Mat 7:4 Or how will you tell your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye;' and behold, the beam is in your own eye?

Mat 7:5 You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye.

Mat 7:6 "Don't give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

Mat 7:7 "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.

Mat 7:8 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.

Mat 7:9 Or who is there among you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?

Mat 7:10 Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent?

Mat 7:11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

Mat 7:12 Therefore whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets.

Mat 7:13 "Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it.

Mat 7:14 How narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it.

Mat 7:15 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.

Mat 7:16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?

Mat 7:17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.

Mat 7:18 A good tree can't produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.

Mat 7:19 Every tree that doesn't grow good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.

Mat 7:20 Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.

Mat 7:21 Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Mat 7:22 Many will tell me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?'

Mat 7:23 Then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.'

Mat 7:24 "Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock.

Mat 7:25 The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it didn't fall, for it was founded on the rock.

Mat 7:26 Everyone who hears these words of mine, and doesn't do them will be like a foolish man, who built his house on the sand.

Mat 7:27 The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell-and great was its fall."

Mat 7:28 It happened, when Jesus had finished saying these things, that the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,

Mat 7:29 for he taught them with authority, and not like the scribes.
