New American Standard Bible 1995
Luke 6:37-49
37“1Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; 23pardon, and you will be pardoned. 38Give, and it will be given to you. They will 4pour 5into your lap a 6good measure--pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”
39And He also spoke a parable to them: “7A blind man cannot guide a blind man, can he? Will they not both fall into a pit? 408A 9pupil is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will 10be like his teacher. 41Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 42Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother’s eye. 4311For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit, nor, 12on the other hand, a bad tree which produces good fruit. 4413For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush. 4514The good man out of the good 15treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; 16for his mouth speaks from 17that which fills his heart.
46“18Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? 4719Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and 20acts on them, I will show you whom he is like: 48he is like a man building a house, who 21dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the 22torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. 49But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the 23torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great.”
