¹ Don't condemn others, and God won't condemn you. ² God will be as hard on you as you are on others! He will treat you exactly as you treat them. ³ You can see the speck in your friend's eye, but you don't notice the log in your own eye. ⁴ How can you say, "My friend, let me take the speck out of your eye," when you don't see the log in your own eye? ⁵ You're nothing but show-offs! First, take the log out of your own eye. Then you can see how to take the speck out of your friend's eye. ⁶ Don't give to dogs what belongs to God. They will only turn and attack you. Don't throw pearls down in front of pigs. They will trample all over them. ⁷ Ask, and you will receive. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened for you. ⁸ Everyone who asks will receive. Everyone who searches will find. And the door will be opened for everyone who knocks. ⁹ Would any of you give your hungry child a stone, if the child asked for some bread? ¹⁰ Would you give your child a snake if the child asked for a fish? ¹¹ As bad as you are, you still know how to give good gifts to your children. But your heavenly Father is even more ready to give good things to people who ask. ¹² Treat others as you want them to treat you. This is what the Law and the Prophets are all about.
