OCTOBER 2, 2025 PORTALS OF PRAYER READINGS
Matthew 7:1-12
Judging Others
7 “Judge
not, that you be not judged. 2 For with
the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it
will be measured to you. 3 Why do you
see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is
in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to
your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in
your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first
take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the
speck out of your brother's eye.
6 “Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not
throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to
attack you.
Ask, and It Will Be Given
7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek,
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, how much more will your Father who is in heaven
give good things to those who ask him!
The Golden Rule
12 “So whatever you wish that others would
do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
Psalm 2:1-8
The Reign of the Lord's Anointed
2 Why do the
nations rage[a]
and
the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
and
the rulers take counsel together,
against
the Lord and against his Anointed, saying,
3 “Let us burst their bonds apart
and
cast away their cords from us.”
4 He who sits in the heavens
laughs;
the
Lord holds them in derision.
5 Then he will speak to them in his wrath,
and
terrify them in his fury, saying,
6 “As for me, I have set my King
on
Zion, my holy hill.”
7 I will tell of the decree:
The Lord said to me, “You are my Son;
today
I have begotten you.
8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your
heritage,
and
the ends of the earth your possession.
