Matthew 7:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 7:5

3 ^aAnd why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?

4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye?

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

6 ^a“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.

Keep Asking, Seeking, Knocking

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

8 For ^aeveryone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
