Judging Others

Matthew 7

1 "Judge 1 a not, that you be not judged. 2 "For with what 2 judgment you judge, you will be judged; b and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3 c "And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4 "Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye'; and look, a plank is in your own eye? 5 "Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

6 d "Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.
