Matthew 7:1-8 ▼

1 “Do not judge, that you may not be judged,

2 for in what judgment you judge, you will be judged, and in what measure you measure, it will be measured to you.

3 And why do you behold the speck that [is] in your brother’s eye, and do not consider the beam that [is] in your own eye?

4 Or, how will you say to your brother, Permit [that] I may cast out the speck from your eye, and behold, the beam [is] in your own eye?

5 Hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to cast out the speck out of your brother’s eye.

6 You may not give that which is [holy] to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the pigs, that they may not trample them among their feet, and having turned—may tear you apart.

7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you;

8 for everyone who is asking receives, and he who is seeking finds, and to him who is knocking it will be opened.
