Matthew 7:1-6

Judging Others

1 ¹“Judge not, that you be not judged.

2 ²For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and ³with 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 ⁴do 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 ⁵“Do not give ⁶dogs what is holy, and do not throw your ⁷pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you.
