¹‘Judge not, that ye may not be judged, ²for in what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged, and in what measure ye measure, it shall be measured to you.

³‘And why dost thou behold the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, and the beam that is in thine own eye dost not consider? ⁴or, how wilt thou say to thy brother, Suffer I may cast out the mote from thine eye, and lo, the beam is in thine own eye? ⁵Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then thou shalt see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.

⁶‘Ye may not give that which is holy to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the swine, that they may not trample them among their feet, and having turned—may rend you.

⁷‘Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you; ⁸for every one who is asking doth receive, and he who is seeking doth find, and to him who is knocking it shall be opened.

⁹‘Or what man is of you, of whom, if his son may ask a loaf—a stone will he present to him? ¹⁰and if a fish he may ask—a serpent will he present to him? ¹¹if, therefore, ye being evil, have known good gifts to give to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in the heavens give good things to those asking him?

¹²‘All things, therefore, whatever ye may will that men may be doing to you, so also do to them, for this is the law and the prophets.

¹³‘Go ye in through the strait gate, because wide is the gate, and broad the way that is leading to the destruction, and many are those going in through it; ¹⁴how strait is the gate, and compressed the way that is leading to the life, and few are those finding it!
