Matthew 7:2-5

Judging Others

² _s For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and _t with 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 _u do 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.
