Matthew 7:1-14.
Matthew 7:1-14.
1 "Do not judge others, so that God will not judge you, 2 for God will
judge you in the same way you judge others, and he will apply to you
the same rules you apply to others. 3 Why, then, do you look at the
speck in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the log in your
own eye? 4 How dare you say to your brother, "Please, let me take that
speck out of your eye," when you have a log in your own eye? 5 You
hypocrite! First take the log out of your own eye, and then you will
be able to see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. 6
Do not give what is holy to dogs—they will only turn and attack you.
Do not throw your pearls in front of pigs—they will only trample them
underfoot. 7 Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find;
knock, and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks
will receive, and anyone who seeks will find, and the door will be
opened to those who knock. 9 Would any of you who are fathers give
your son a stone when he asks for bread? 10 Or would you give him a
snake when he asks for a fish? 11 As bad as you are, you know how to
give good things to your children. How much more, then, will your
Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him! 12 Do for
others what you want them to do for you: this is the meaning of the
Law of Moses and of the teachings of the prophets. 13 Go in through
the narrow gate, because the gate to hell is wide and the road that
leads to it is easy, and there are many who travel it. 14 But the gate
to life is narrow and the way that leads to it is hard, and there are
few people who find it."
God bless you.
