Judging Others
37 For ver. 37, 38, 41, 42, see Matt. 7:1-5;[Rom. 14:13;1 Cor. 4:5;James 5:9] [Matt. 6:14;18:23-35]"Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; [Matt. 6:14;18:23-35]forgive, and you will be forgiven;38 2 Cor. 9:6-8give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put Ps. 79:12;Isa. 65:6,7into your lap. For Mark 4:24;[Judg. 1:7]with the measure you use it will be measured back to you."
41 [See ver. 37above] Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but [John 8:7-9]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.
