Matthew 7

¹“Don’t judge, so that you won’t be judged.

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

³Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?

⁴Or how will you tell your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye,’ and behold, the beam is in your own eye?

⁵You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother’s eye.

⁶“Don’t give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

⁷“Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.

⁸For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.

⁹Or who is there among you who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?

¹⁰Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent?

¹¹If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

¹²Therefore, whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets.

¹³“Enter in by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in by it.
