Matthew 7:13-27

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

(4) Epilogue (cf. Matthew 5:3, note). Dare to take up this position, which has been laid down in Mt 5:21-7:12, involving though it must separation from the majority of men (Matthew 7:13, Matthew 7:14); and this notwithstanding the claim of others to reveal the Lord's mind, whose true nature, however, you shall perceive from their actions (Matthew 7:15-20); they that work iniquity have neither present nor future union with me (Matthew 7:21-23).

Finally a solemn warning (Matthew 7:24-27).
