The Sermon on the Mount ends here. Matthew 7 is the climactic close of the most concentrated ethical discourse in Scripture - recorded by the apostle Matthew around AD 50-70.

Lyrics
Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged For with whatever judgment you judge You will be judged
Ask, and it will be given you Seek, and you will find Knock, and it will be opened for you For everyone who asks receives He who seeks finds To him who knocks it will be opened
Or who is there amongst you who, if his son asks him for bread Will give him a stone? 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?
Therefore, whatever you desire for men to do to you You shall also do to them For this is the law and the prophets Enter in by the narrow gate
For the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction And there are many who enter in by it How narrow is the gate and the way is restricted that leads to life There are few who find it
Beware of false prophets By their fruits you will know them A good tree produces good fruit But the corrupt tree produces evil fruit
Therefore by their fruits you will know them 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
Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine and does them I will liken him to a wise man Who built his house on the rock 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
But everyone who hears these words and doesn’t do them Will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand The rain came down, the floods came, the winds blew And it fell, and its fall was great Founded on the rock Founded on the rock
