In context
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thy own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thy eye; and behold, a beam [is] in thy own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thy 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 to 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 the door shall be opened to you:
8 For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, the door shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask bread, will give him a stone?
