Share

Settings

2 1For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and 2with the measure you use it will be measured to you.
3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but 3do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
4 Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is the log in your own eye?
5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
6 4"Do not give 5dogs what is holy, and do not throw your 6pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you.

Ask, and It Will Be Given

7 7"Ask, 8and it will be given to you; 9seek, and you will find; 10knock, and it will be opened to you.
8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
9 Or which one of you, if his son asks him for 11bread, will give him 12a stone?
10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent?
11 If you then, 13who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will 14your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

The Golden Rule

12 "So 15whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is 16the Law and the Prophets.
