========================
Matthew 7:1-6
========================
1“Do not judge, or you too
will be judged.
2For in the same way you
judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be
measured to you.
3“Why do you look at the speck
of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own
eye?
4How can you say to your
brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a
plank in your own eye?
5You hypocrite, first take
the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the
speck from your brother’s eye.
6“Do not give dogs what is
sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them
under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
