1 Judge not, that ye be not judged: “Judge not, that you be not judged. “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
2 for with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured back again to you. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3 And why dost thou look at the splinter in thy brother's eye, but takest no notice of the beam in thine own eye?

4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me take the chaff out of thine eye, and behold, there is a beam in thine own eye? 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? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first get the beam out of thine own eye; and then thou wilt see how to take the splinter 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. You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
6 Give not that which is holy unto dogs, nor cast your pearls before swine; least they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you. “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. “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
7 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. “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
8 for every one, that asketh, receiveth; and he, that seeketh, findeth; and to him, that knocketh, it shall be opened. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
14 whereas the gate is narrow, and the way troublesome, which leadeth into life, and few there be that find it. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
