St. Matthew 7 begins with Jesus teaching about judging others, warning that we will be judged in the same way as we judge others. He continues to talk about the narrow and wide, good and bad path, and the importance of practicing God's will. Jesus also talks about those who call him the Lord, but do not do the will of God, and ends with the parable of the house built in the rock and in the sand. Here are five verses related to these themes:

Matthew 7:12: "Everything you want others to do to you, to do them too. This is the essence of the law and the prophets." Here, Jesus teaches about doing to others what we would like to do to us, which relates to loving others as to themselves and practicing God's will.
