Judging Others
37 v“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; wforgive, and you will be forgiven; 38 give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For xwith the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and iwith the measure you use it will be measured to you.

6 j“Do not kgive dogs what is holy, and do not throw your lpearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you.
Ask, and It Will Be Given
7 m“Ask, nand it will be given to you; oseek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, phow much more will your Father who is in heaven qgive good things to those who ask him!
The Golden Rule
