Matthew 7:1-7

1 "Do not judge others, so that God will not judge you,

2 for God will judge you in the same way you judge others, and he will apply to you the same rules you apply to others. ¹

3 Why, then, do you look at the speck in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the log in your own eye?

4 How dare you say to your brother, "Please, let me take that speck out of your eye,' when you have a log in your own eye?

5 You hypocrite! First take the log out of your own eye, and then you will be able to see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

6 "Do not give what is holy to dogs - they will only turn and attack you. Do not throw your pearls in front of pigs - they will only trample them underfoot.

7 "Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. ²
