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!
