1 “Judge not, that you be not judged. “Do not judge, so that you won’t be judged. Judge not, that ye be not judged. “Do not judge, so that you will not be judged.
2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. For with the judgment you use, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.
3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but don’t notice the log in your own eye? And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and look, there’s a log in your eye? 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? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and look, the log is in your own eye?
5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. Hypocrite! First take the log out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. 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. You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye!
6 “Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you. Don’t give what is holy to dogs or toss your pearls before pigs, or they will trample them with their feet, turn, and tear you to pieces. 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. “Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. “Keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

So if you, despite 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 those who ask Him!
12 “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. A good tree can’t produce bad fruit; neither can a bad tree produce good fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 Thus you will recognize them by their fruits. So you’ll recognize them by their fruit. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. So then, you will know them by their fruits.

Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’
