Don’t Be Judgmental of Others. But Use Discernment In Your Actions Toward Others

7 “Do not be judging^[a], in order that you may not be judged. ² For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with what measure you measure, it will be measured to you. ³ And why do you look-at the speck in the eye of your brother, but do not consider^[b] the log in your eye? ⁴ Or how will you say to your brother, ‘Permit me to take out the speck from your eye’, and behold— the log is in your eye? ⁵ Hypocrite! First take out the log from your eye, and then you will see-clearly to take out the speck from the eye of your brother. ⁶ Do not give the holy thing to the dogs^[c], nor throw your pearls in front of the pigs, so that they will not perhaps trample them with their feet, and having turned, tear you to pieces.
