Matthew 7:5-15

5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give* him a stone?

10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give* him a serpent?

11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

13 Enter ye in at the strait^[a] gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat*:

14 Because^[b] strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

15 Beware* of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
