Judging Others

37 ^ij“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; ^jforgive, and you will be forgiven; 38 ^kgive, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put ^linto your lap. For ^mwith the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”

41 ⁱWhy do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but ^qdo 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.

Judging Others

1 ^r“Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 ^sFor with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and ^twith 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 ^udo 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.

Do Not Cause Another to Stumble

13 ^aTherefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide ^bnever to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.

5 Therefore ^qdo not pronounce judgment before the time, ^rbefore the Lord comes, ^swho will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. ^tThen each one will receive his commendation from God.

9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers, ⁿso that you may not be judged; behold, ^othe Judge is standing ^pat the door.
