Luke 6:37-49

37“1Do not judgeG2919, and you will not be judgedG2919; and do not condemnG2613, and you will not be condemnedG2613; 23pardonG630, and you will be pardonedG630. 38GiveG1325, and it will be givenG1325 to you. They will 4pourG1325 5into your lapG2859 a 6goodG2570 measureG3358--pressedG4085 downG4085, shakenG4531 togetherG4531, and runningG5240 overG5240. For by your standardG3358 of measureG3354 it will be measuredG488 to you in returnG488.”

39And He alsoG2532 spokeG3004 a parableG3850 to them: “7A blindG5185 manG5185 cannotG1410G3385 guideG3594 a blindG5185 manG5185, can he? Will they not bothG297 fallG1706 into a pitG999? 408A 9pupilG3101 is not aboveG5228 his teacherG1320; but everyoneG3956, after he has been fullyG2675 trainedG2675, will 10be likeG5613 his teacherG1320. 41WhyG5101 do you lookG991 at the speckG2595 that is in your brother’sG80 eyeG3788, but do not noticeG2657 the logG1385 that is in your ownG2398 eyeG3788? 42Or howG4459 canG1410 you sayG3004 to your brotherG80, ‘BrotherG80, letG863 me takeG1544 out the speckG2595 that is in your eyeG3788,’ when you yourselfG846 do not seeG991 the logG1385 that is in your own eyeG3788? You hypocriteG5273, firstG4413 takeG1544 the logG1385 out of your own eyeG3788, and thenG5119 you will seeG1227 clearlyG1227 to takeG1544 out the speckG2595 that is in your brother’sG80 eyeG3788. 4311For there is noG3756 goodG2570 treeG1186 which producesG4160 badG4550 fruitG2590, norG3761, 12on the otherG3825 handG3825, a badG4550 treeG1186 which producesG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590. 4413For eachG1538 treeG1186 is knownG1097 by its ownG2398 fruitG2590. For men do not gatherG4816 figsG4810 from thornsG173, norG3761 do they pickG5166 grapesG4718 from a briarG942 bushG942. 4514The goodG18 manG444 out of the goodG18 15treasureG2344 of his heartG2588 bringsG4393 forthG4393 whatG18 is goodG18; and the evilG4190 man out of the evilG4190 treasure bringsG4393 forthG4393 whatG4190 is evilG4190; 16for his mouthG4750 speaksG2980 from 17that whichG4051 fillsG4051 his heartG2588.

46“18WhyG5101 do you callG2564 Me, ‘LordG2962, LordG2962,’ and do not doG4160 whatG3739 I sayG3004? 4719EveryoneG3956 who comesG2064 to Me and hearsG191 My wordsG3056 and 20actsG4160 on them, I will showG5263 you whomG5101 he is likeG3664: 48he is likeG3664 a manG444 buildingG3618 a houseG3614, whoG3739 21dugG4626 deepG900 and laidG5087 a foundationG2310 on the rockG4073; and when a floodG4132 occurredG1096, the 22torrentG4215 burstG4366 againstG4366 that houseG3614 and couldG2480 not shakeG4531 it, becauseG1223 it had been wellG2573 builtG3618. 49But the one who has heardG191 and has not actedG4160 accordingly, is likeG3664 a manG444 who builtG3618 a houseG3614 on the groundG1093 withoutG5565 any foundationG2310; and the 23torrentG4215 burstG4366 againstG4366 it and immediatelyG2117 it collapsedG4844, and the ruinG4485 of that houseG3614 was greatG3173.”
