Matthew 7:1-14
Judge not, that
you may not be judged, For with what judgment you judge, you shall be
judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you
again. Any why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye; and
seest not the beam that is in thy own eye? Or how sayest thou to thy
brother: Let me cast the mote out of thy eye; and behold a beam is in
thy own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam in thy own eye,
and then shalt thou see to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
Give not that which is holy to dogs; neither cast ye your pearls before
swine, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turning
upon you, they tear you. Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you
shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you. For every one that
asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that
knocketh, it shall be opened. Or what man is there among you, of whom
if his son shall ask bread, will he reach him a stone? Or if he shall
ask him a fish, will he reach him a serpent? If you then being evil,
know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will your
Father who is in heaven, give good things to them that ask him? All
things therefore whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you
also to them. For this is the law and the prophets. Enter ye in at the
narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to
destruction, and many there are who go in thereat. How narrow is the
gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are
that find it!
