Today’s Gospel provides excellent evidence that in Heaven, actions speak louder than words. We could also quote St. James the Lesser, in his only epistle (2:12 – 26), but let’s take the (translated) words straight from the Lord. (We added a few preceding and succeeding verses to today’s Gospel according to Matthew.)
| 7:15 | खोट्या संदेष्ट्यांपासून सावध रहा, जे मेंढरांच्या पोशाखात तुमच्याकडे येतात, पण आतून कावळी लांडगे आहेत. |
| 7:16 | त्यांच्या फळांवरून तुम्ही त्यांना ओळखाल. काट्यांतून द्राक्षे गोळा करता येतात का?, किंवा काटेरी फुले व झुबकेदार पानांचे एक लहान झाड पासून अंजीर? |
| 7:17 | मग त्यानंतर, प्रत्येक चांगले झाड चांगले फळ देते, आणि वाईट झाड वाईट फळ देते. |
| 7:18 | चांगले झाड वाईट फळ देऊ शकत नाही, आणि वाईट झाड चांगले फळ देऊ शकत नाही. |
| 7:19 | चांगले फळ न देणारे प्रत्येक झाड तोडून अग्नीत टाकावे. |
| 7:20 | त्यामुळे, त्यांच्या फळांवरून तुम्ही त्यांना ओळखाल. |
| 7:21 | Not all who say to me, 'प्रभू, प्रभू,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven. But whoever does the will of my Father, जो स्वर्गात आहे, the same shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. |
| 7:22 | Many will say to me in that day, 'प्रभू, प्रभू, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and perform many powerful deeds in your name?' |
| 7:23 | And then will I disclose to them: ‘I have never known you. माझ्यापासून निघून जा, you workers of iniquity.’ |
| 7:24 | त्यामुळे, everyone who hears these words of mine and does them shall be compared to a wise man, who built his house upon the rock. |
| 7:25 | And the rains descended, and the floods rose up, and the winds blew, and rushed upon that house, but it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. |
| 7:26 | And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them shall be like a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand. |
| 7:27 | And the rains descended, and the floods rose up, and the winds blew, and rushed upon that house, and it did fall, and great was its ruin.” |
