Luke 6:37-49
English Standard Version
Judging Others
37 (A)(B)“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; (C)forgive, and you will be forgiven; 38 (D)give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put (E)into your lap. For (F)with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
39 He also told them a parable: (G)“Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? 40 (H)A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is (I)fully trained will be like his teacher. 41 (J)Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but (K)do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 42 How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye.
A Tree and Its Fruit
43 “For (L)no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit, 44 for (M)each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. 45 (N)The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces (O)evil, (P)for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
Build Your House on the Rock
46 (Q)“Why (R)do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you? 47 (S)Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: 48 he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.[a] 49 (T)But the one who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the stream broke against it, immediately it fell, and (U)the ruin of that house was great.”

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,[a] it will be measured back to you.”(D)
39 He also told them a parable: “Can the blind guide the blind? Won’t they both fall into a pit?(E) 40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.(F)
41 “Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but don’t notice the log in your own eye? 42 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself don’t see the log in your eye? Hypocrite! First take the log out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck in your brother’s eye.
A Tree and Its Fruit
43 “A good tree doesn’t produce bad fruit; on the other hand, a bad tree doesn’t produce good fruit.(G) 44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. Figs aren’t gathered from thornbushes, or grapes picked from a bramble bush. 45 A good man produces good out of the good storeroom of his heart. An evil man produces evil out of the evil storeroom, for his mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart.
The Two Foundations
46 “Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things I say?(H) 47 I will show you what someone is like who comes to Me, hears My words, and acts on them:(I) 48 He is like a man building a house, who dug deep[b] and laid the foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the river crashed against that house and couldn’t shake it, because it was well built. 49 But the one who hears and does not act is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The river crashed against it, and immediately it collapsed. And the destruction of that house was great!”(J)
