Matthew 7:14 in Context — Matthew 7

12 Portanto tudo o que quiserdes que os outros vos façam, fazei-lhes vós também assim; porque esta é a Lei e os Profetas.

13 Entrai pela porta estreita; porque larga é a porta, e espaçoso o caminho que leva à perdição; e muitos são os que por ela entram.

14 Porque estreita é a porta, e apertado o caminho que leva à vida; e são poucos os que a acham.

15 Tende cuidado, porém, com os falsos profetas, que vêm a vós com roupa de ovelhas, mas por dentro são lobos vorazes.

16 Vós os conhecereis pelos seus frutos. Por acaso se colhem uvas dos espinheiros, ou figos dos cardos?
