Matthew
7:1-12
[1] "Do not judge, or you too
will be judged. [2] For in the same way you judge others, you will
be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. [3]
"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no
attention to the plank in your own eye? [4] How can you say to your
brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a
plank in your own eye? [5] You hypocrite, first take the plank out
of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your
brother's eye. [6] "Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not
throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet,
and turn and tear you to pieces. [7] "Ask and it will be given
to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. [8]
For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who
knocks, the door will be opened. [9] "Which of you, if your son
asks for bread, will give him a stone? [10] Or if he asks for a
fish, will give him a snake? [11] If you, then, though you are evil,
know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in
heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! [12] So in everything,
do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and
the Prophets.
