¹ Judge not, that you may not be judged: ² for with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you measure, it shall be measured to you. ³ And why do you look at the splinter that is in your brother's eye, but perceive not the beam that is in your own eye? ⁴ Or, how will you say to your brother, Let me pull out the splinter from your eye: and lo; a beam is in your own eye? ⁵ Hypocrite! first pull the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to pull the splinter out of your brother's eye. ⁶ Give not that which is holy to dogs, nor throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and tear you. ⁷ Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. ⁸ For every one that asks, receives; and he that seeks, finds; and to him that knocks, it shall be opened. ⁹ What man is there of you, of whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? ¹⁰ And if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? ¹¹ If then you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him? ¹² All things, therefore, whatever you would that men should do to you, even so do you to them: for this is the law and the prophets. ¹³ Enter in through the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction; and many there are that go in through it. ¹⁴ How strait is the gate, and how narrow the way, that leads to life! and few there are that find it. ¹⁵ But beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but within are ravenous wolves. ¹⁶ By their fruits you will know them.

¹ Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees that were of Jerusalem, saying: ² Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread. ³ But he answered and said to them: And why do you transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? ⁴ For God commanded, saying, Honor your father and your mother; and, He that curses father or mother shall surely be put to death. ⁵ But you say, Whoever shall say to his father or his mother, Whatever of mine might profit you, is a gift, he must in no way honor his father or his mother; ⁶ and you make the commandment of God of no effect for the sake of your tradition. ⁷ Hypocrites! well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, ⁸ This people draws near to me with their mouth, and honors me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. ⁹ But in vain, do they worship me, teaching precepts, the commandments of men. ¹⁰ And he called the multitude to him, and said to them: Hear and understand; ¹¹ That which enters the mouth does not defile the man; but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles the man. ¹² Then came his disciples and said to him: Dost thou know that the Pharisees, when they heard that saying, were offended? ¹³ But he answered and said: Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted, shall be rooted up. ¹⁴ Let them alone; they are blind leaders of the blind; and if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the pit. ¹⁵ But Peter answered and said to him: Explain to us this dark saying. ¹⁶ Jesus replied: Are you also yet without understanding? ¹⁷ Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth passes into the belly, and is cast out into the sink? ¹⁸ But those things which go out from the mouth, come from the heart; and these defile the man. ¹⁹ For from the heart come evil reasonings, murders, adulteries, lewd actions, thefts, false testimonies, impious words. ²⁰ These are the things that defile the man. But to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man. ²¹ And Jesus went out thence, and withdrew into the regions of Tyre and Sidon. ²² And behold, a woman of Chanaan came out from those borders, and cried to him, saying: Have mercy on me, Lord, son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a demon. ²³ But he answered her not a word.

And I am not willing to send them away fasting, lest they faint on the road. ³³ And his disciples said to him: Whence should we have in the desert as many loaves as would satisfy so great a multitude? ³⁴ And Jesus said to them: How many loaves have you? They said: Seven, and a few little fishes. ³⁵ And he commanded the multitude to recline on the ground. ³⁶ And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and broke, and gave thorn to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the multitude. ³⁷ And they all ate and were satisfied; and they took up what remained of the broken pieces, seven baskets full. ³⁸ And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. ³⁹ And he sent the multitudes away, and entered the ship, and went into the borders of Magdala.

¹ I exhort, therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, ² for kings, and for all that are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and gravity. ³ For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, ⁴ who is willing that all men should be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth. ⁵ For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, ⁶ who gave himself a ransom for all, of which the testimony has been given in its proper times, ⁷ to give which testimony I have been appointed a preacher and an apostle; (I speak the truth, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faithfulness and in truth. ⁸ I will, therefore, that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands without wrath and disputation. ⁹ In like manner, also, I will that the women adorn themselves with decorous dress, with modesty and sobriety, not with plaited hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly raiment, ¹⁰ but with good works; since this becomes women who profess godliness. ¹¹ Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. ¹² I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. ¹³ For Adam was first formed, then Eve. ¹⁴ And Adam was not deceived: but the woman being deceived, was in transgression; ¹⁵ but they shall be saved by the bearing of children, if they continue in faith and love and holiness with sobriety.

¹² Put on, therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, a merciful disposition, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering:

⁵ Let your gentleness be known to all men: the Lord is at hand.

⁴⁰ Let all things be done with propriety, and in good order.

⁵ Walk in wisdom toward those who are without, redeeming the time. ⁶ Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every one.
