Part 199

14:7 Ask, and it shall be given unto you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

14:8 For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.

14:9 Or what man is there of you, who, if his son ask bread, will give him a stone?

14:10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

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?

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.

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;

14:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

14:15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

14:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

14:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

14:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

14:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

14:20 Wherefore, by their fruits ye shall know them.

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.

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?

14:23 And then will I profess unto them: I never knew you; depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

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—

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.

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—

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.

3 Nephi Chapter 15

15:1 And now it came to pass that when Jesus had ended these sayings he cast his eyes round about on the multitude, and said unto them: Behold, ye have heard the things which I taught before I ascended to my Father; therefore, whoso remembereth these sayings of mine and doeth them, him will I raise up at the last day.

15:2 And it came to pass that when Jesus had said these words he perceived that there were some among them who marveled, and wondered what he would concerning the law of Moses; for they understood not the saying that old things had passed away, and that all things had become new.

15:3 And he said unto them: Marvel not that I said unto you that old things had passed away, and that all things had become new.

15:4 Behold, I say unto you that the law is fulfilled that was given unto Moses.

15:5 Behold, I am he that gave the law, and I am he who covenanted with my people Israel; therefore, the law in me is fulfilled, for I have come to fulfil the law; therefore it hath an end.

15:6 Behold, I do not destroy the prophets, for as many as have not been fulfilled in me, verily I say unto you, shall all be fulfilled.
