Matthew 7:1-11

1“1Do not 2judge, so that you will not be judged. 2For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and 34by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. 3Why do you 5look at the 6speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 47Or how 8can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the 9speck out of your eye,’ and look, the log is in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the 10speck out of your brother’s eye!

6“11Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

7“1213Ask, and 14it will be given to you; 15seek, and you will find; 16knock, and it will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 9Or what person is there among you 17who, when his son asks for a loaf of bread, 18will give him a stone? 10Or 19if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he? 11So if you, despite being 20evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, 21how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
