King James Version KJV
New International Version NIV
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
1
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
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 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
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 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine 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 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's 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 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
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 shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
7
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
