Luke 6:38-48

38 "Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour ¹into your lap a ²good measure -pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return."

39 And He also spoke a parable to them: "³A blind man cannot * guide a blind man, can he? Will they not both fall into a pit?

40 "⁴A pupil is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher.

41 "Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?

42 "Or how can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye.

43 "⁵For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit, nor, on the other hand, a bad tree which produces good fruit.

44 "⁶For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush.

45 "⁷The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; ⁸for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart.

Builders and Foundations

46 "⁹Why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?

47 "¹⁰Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like:

48 he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.
