Matthew 7 (KJV) Read Aloud | Daily Bible Reading

@sovereignlogos·September 23, 2026
In Matthew 7, Jesus delivers profound teachings that are still widely discussed today. The chapter begins with a warning against judgment, stating, "Judge not, that ye be not judged." This highlights the principle of reciprocal judgment, where the measure we use will be used against us. It also explores the metaphor of the mote and the beam, urging self-reflection before criticizing others. Jesus further advises against giving "that which is holy unto the dogs" or casting "pearls before swine," emphasizing the importance of discernment. Another essential teaching is the assurance that when we ask, seek, and knock, we will receive, find, and have doors opened to us. This reflects the generosity of "your Father which is in heaven." The chapter also contains the Golden Rule: "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." It warns of the "strait gate" and "narrow way" leading to life, contrasting it with the broad path leading to destruction. Lastly, Jesus warns about false prophets, identifiable "by their fruits," stressing that a "good tree bringeth forth good fruit." → Matthew 7:1-20 Read the whole Bible, Septuagint and KJV side by side, at sovereignlogos.com Free Bible app: sovereignlogos.com/app #judgeNot #askSeekKnock #goldenRule #falseProphets #broadWay #narrowPath #goodFruit #moteAndBeam #pearlsBeforeSwine #KJVTeaching
