Luke 6:37-49

37“1Do not 2judgeG2919, and you will not be judgedG2919; and do not 3condemnG2613, and you will not be condemnedG2613; 45pardonG630, and you will be pardonedG630. 38GiveG1325, and it will be givenG1325 to you. They will 6pourG1325 7into your lapG2859 a 8goodG2570 measureG3358--pressedG4085 downG4085, shakenG4531 togetherG4531, and runningG5240 overG5240. For by your standardG3358 of measureG3354 it will be measuredG488 to you inG488 returnG488.”

39NowG1161 He alsoG2532 spokeG3004 a parableG3850 to them: “9A personG5185 whoG5185 isG5185 blindG5185 cannotG1410G3385 guideG3594 another whoG5185 isG5185 blindG5185, can he? Will they not bothG297 fallG1706 into a pitG999? 4010A 11studentG3101 is not aboveG5228 the teacherG1320; but everyoneG3956, when he has been fullyG2675 trainedG2675, will be likeG5613 his teacherG1320. 41WhyG5101 do you lookG991 at the 12speckG2595 that is in your brother’sG80 eyeG3788, but do not noticeG2657 the logG1385 that is in your ownG2398 eyeG3788? 42HowG4459 canG1410 you sayG3004 to your brotherG80, ‘BrotherG80, letG863 me takeG1544 outG1544 the 13speckG2595 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 outG1544 of your own eyeG3788, and thenG5119 you will seeG1227 clearlyG1227 to takeG1544 outG1544 the 14speckG2595 that is in your brother’sG80 eyeG3788. 4315For there is noG3756 goodG2570 treeG1186 that bearsG4160 badG4550 fruitG2590, norG3761, 16on the otherG3825 handG3825, a badG4550 treeG1186 that bearsG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590. 4417For eachG1538 treeG1186 is knownG1097 by its ownG2398 fruitG2590. For people do not gatherG4816 figsG4810 from thornsG173, norG3761 do they pickG5166 grapesG4718 from a briarG942 bushG942. 4518The goodG18 personG444 out of the goodG18 19treasureG2344 of his heartG2588 bringsG4393 forthG4393 whatG3588 isG18 goodG18; and the evilG4190 person out of the evilG4190 treasure bringsG4393 forthG4393 whatG3588 is evilG4190; 20for his mouthG4750 speaksG2980 from 21that whichG4051 fillsG4051 his heartG2588.

46“NowG1161 22whyG5101 do you callG2564 Me, ‘LordG2962, LordG2962,’ and do not doG4160 whatG3739 I sayG3004? 4723EveryoneG3956 who comesG2064 to Me and hearsG191 My wordsG3056 and 24actsG4160 on them, I will showG5263 you whomG5101 he is likeG3664: 48he is likeG3664 a manG444 buildingG3618 a houseG3614, whoG3739 25dugG4626 deepG900 and laidG5087 a foundationG2310 on the rockG4073; and when there was a floodG4132, the riverG4215 burstG4366 againstG4366 that houseG3614 and yet it 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 a foundationG2310; and the riverG4215 burstG4366 againstG4366 it and it immediatelyG2117 collapsedG4844, and the ruinG4485 of that houseG3614 was greatG3173.”
