Holman Christian Standard Bible

Matthew 7:1-8 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. “Do not judge, so that you won’t be judged.

2. For with the judgment you use, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

3. Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but don’t notice the log in your own eye?

4. Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and look, there’s a log in your eye?

5. Hypocrite! First take the log out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.

6. Don’t give what is holy to dogs or toss your pearls before pigs, or they will trample them with their feet, turn, and tear you to pieces.

7. “Keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you.

8. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who searches finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
