¹ "Do not judge others. Then you will not be judged. ² You will be judged in the same way you judge others. You will be measured in the same way you measure others. ³ "You look at the bit of sawdust in your friend's eye. But you pay no attention to the piece of wood in your own eye. ⁴ How can you say to your friend, 'Let me take the bit of sawdust out of your eye'? How can you say this while there is a piece of wood in your own eye? ⁵ "You pretender! First take the piece of wood out of your own eye. Then you will be able to see clearly to take the bit of sawdust out of your friend's eye. ⁶ "Do not give holy things to dogs. Do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they might walk all over them. Then they might turn around and tear you to pieces. ⁷ "Ask, and it will be given to you. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you. ⁸ Everyone who asks will receive. He who searches will find. The door will be opened to the one who knocks. ⁹ "Suppose your son asks for bread. Which of you will give him a stone? ¹⁰ Or suppose he asks for a fish. Which of you will give him a snake? ¹¹ Even though you are evil, you know how to give good gifts to your children. How much more will your Father who is in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! ¹² "In everything, do to others what you would want them to do to you. This is what is written in the Law and in the Prophets.
