Matthew 7:1-8 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. “Do not judge, so that you will not be judged.

2. For by what judgment you judge, you will be judged, and by what measure you measure out, it will be measured out to you.

3. And why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the beam of wood in your own eye?

4. Or how will you say to your brother, ‘Allow me to remove the speck from your eye,’ and behold, the beam of wood is in your own eye?

5. Hypocrite! First remove the beam of wood from your own eye and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye!

6. “Do not give what is holy to dogs, or throw your pearls in front of pigs, lest they trample them with their feet, and turn around and tear you to pieces.

7. “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened for you.

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