Here is my translation of Matthew 7:1-12. Please critique.
7"Do not be judging, so that y o u may not be judged; 2 for y o u will be judged by the judgment with which y o u judge, and it will be measured to y o u by the measure with which y o u measure. 3 And why are you trying to see the speck in your brother's eye, but you do not consider the beam in your eye? 4 Or how will you say to your brother, 'Please let me take out the speck from your eye'; and look, the beam is in your eye? 5 Hypocrite! First take out the beam from your eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck from your brother's eye. 6 Do not give the holy thing to the dogs, and do not throw y o ur pearls before swine lest they trample them with their feet, and after turning they tear y o u in pieces.
7 "Ask, and it will be given to y o u! seek, and y o u will find! Knock, and it will be opened to y o u! 8 For everyone asking receives, and the one seeking finds, and to the one knocking it will be opened. 9 Or who is the man among you who, if his son asks for bread, he will not grant him a stone, will he? 10 And if he asks for a fish, he will not grant to him a snake, will he? 11 If y o u therefore, being evil, have known to give good gifts to y o ur children, by how much more will your Father who is in the heavens give good things to those who ask Him?
12 "Therefore, all things that y o u wish that people would do for y o u, in this way also y o u do for them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
You always do a wonderful job! Love Mom and Dad
