Matthew 7:1-11

1“Do not judge, so that you won’t be judged.

2For you will be judged by the same standard with which you judge others, and you will be measured by the same measure you use.

3Why do you look at the splinter in your brother’s eye but don’t notice the beam of wood in your own eye?

4Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the splinter out of your eye,’ and look, there’s a beam of wood in your own eye?

5Hypocrite! First take the beam of wood out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to take the splinter out of your brother’s eye.

6Don’t give what is holy to dogs or toss your pearls before pigs, or they will trample them under their feet, turn, and tear you to pieces.

7“Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you.

8For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

9Who among you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?

10Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?

11If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him.
