Do Not Judge

37 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged.(A) Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.(B) 38 Give, and it will be given to you; a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over—will be poured into your lap.(C) For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”(D)

Hypocrite! First take the beam of wood out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the splinter in your brother’s eye.

Will not both fall into a pit?(C) 40 A disciple is not above the teacher, but every disciple who is fully qualified will be like the teacher.(D) 41 Why do you see the speck in your neighbor’s eye but do not notice the log in your own eye? 42 Or how can you say to your neighbor, ‘Friend, let me take out the speck in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbor’s eye.
