Matthew 7:1-8 ▼

1 “Do not judge, so that you won’t be judged.

2 For you will be judged by the same standard with which you judge others, and you will be measured by the same measure you use.

3 Why do you look at the splinter in your brother’s eye but don’t notice the beam of wood in your own eye?

4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the splinter out of your eye,’ and look, there’s a beam of wood in your own eye?

5 Hypocrite! First take the beam of wood out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to take the splinter out of your brother’s eye.

6 Don’t give what is holy to dogs or toss your pearls before pigs, or they will trample them under their feet, turn, and tear you to pieces.

7 “Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you.

8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
