Each number is a verse in Matthew 7, where the word you have to complete will be found or at least a word close to it in meaning. Oops! One word in the puzzle is backwards. That’s BAD, isn’t it?
ANSWERS
The words are: log, like, eye, gate, bad*, dogs, sin, barn, see, sand, day, easy. *That's the word spelled backwards.
