Luke 6:37 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 6:37

Judge not, and ye shall not be judged
(See Gill on Matthew 7:1).

Condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned;
censure not men's persons, and judge not their state, or adjudge them to condemnation, for every offence in practice, or because they differ in principle, lest you should be treated in like manner by others; and especially, lest you should fall under the righteous censure, judgment, and condemnation of God:

forgive;
offences and trespasses committed against you, bear with, and pass by injuries and affronts:

and ye shall be forgiven;
of God; (See Gill on Matthew 6:14).

Luke 6:37 In-Context

36 Be ye therefore merciful, even as your Father also is merciful.

37 And judge not, and ye shall not be judged; condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned. Remit, and it shall be remitted to you.

39 And he spoke also a parable to them: Can a blind [man] lead a blind [man]? shall not both fall into [the] ditch?
