5
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou be able to see to cast out the mote out of thy 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.
7
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you;
8
for every one that asks receives, and he that seeks finds, and to him that knocks it shall be opened.
9
Or what man is there of you, whom, if his son asks
for bread, will he give him a stone?
10
Or if he asks
for fish, will he give him a serpent?
11
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in the heavens give good things to those that ask him?
12
Therefore, all things whatsoever ye desire that men should do unto you, so also shall ye do unto them, for this is the law and the prophets.
13
Enter ye in at the narrow gate, for the way that leads to destruction is wide and spacious, and those who follow it are many;
14
because narrow
is the gate, and confined
is the way which leads unto life, and there are few that find it.
15
Keep yourselves also from the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
