Several warnings
7 1—Do not judge and you will not be judged. 2In the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and the measure you use for others will be used for you. 3Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye and not see the plank in your own eye? 4How can you say to your brother: ‘Come, let me take the speck from your eye,’ as long as that plank is in your own? 5Hypocrite, take first the plank out of your own eye, then you will see clear enough to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.
6—Do not give what is holy to the dogs, or throw your pearls to the pigs: they might trample on them and even turn on you and tear you to pieces.
 7—Ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened. 8For everyone who asks, receives; whoever seeks, finds; and the door will be opened to him who knocks. 9Would any of you give a stone to your son when he asks for bread? 10Or give him a snake, when he asks for a fish? 11As 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—So, do to others whatever you would that others do to you: there you have the Law and the Prophets.
