Matthew 7:2-8 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

2. If you judge others, you will be judged the same way you judge them. God will treat you the same way you treat others.

3. “Why do you notice the small piece of dust that is in your friend’s eye, but you don’t notice the big piece of wood that is in your own?

4. Why do you say to your friend, ‘Let me take that piece of dust out of your eye’? Look at yourself first! You still have that big piece of wood in your own eye.

5. You are a hypocrite! First, take the wood out of your own eye. Then you will see clearly to get the dust out of your friend’s eye.

6. “Don’t give something that is holy to dogs. They will only turn and hurt you. And don’t throw your pearls to pigs. They will only step on them.

7. “Continue to ask, and God will give to you. Continue to search, and you will find. Continue to knock, and the door will open for you.

8. Yes, whoever continues to ask will receive. Whoever continues to look will find. And whoever continues to knock will have the door opened for them.
