Matthew 7:1-6

Judging Others

1 “Do not judge, or you will be judged. ¹

2 For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

3 Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while there is still a beam in your own eye?

5 You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

6 Do not give dogs what is holy; do not throw your pearls before swine. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.
