Matthew 7:1-11

1“Stop judging, so that you may not be judged.

2For with the judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

3“Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the beam in your own eye?

4Or how will you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and look, the beam is in your own eye?

5Hypocrite, first take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.

6“Do not give what is holy to dogs or throw your pearls before pigs; otherwise they will trample them under their feet, then turn and rip you to shreds.

7“Ask, and it shall be given to you. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you.

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

9“For what man among you, when his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?

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

11If you then, being 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!
