Be Careful About Criticizing Others
37 “Don’t judge others, and God will not judge you.
Don’t condemn others, and you will not be condemned.
Forgive others, and you will be forgiven.
38 Give to others, and you will receive.
You will be given much.
It will be poured into your hands—more than you can hold.
You will be given so much that it will spill into your lap.
The way you give to others is the way God will give to you.”
39 Jesus told them this story:
“Can a blind man lead another blind man?
No. Both of them will fall into a ditch.
40 Students are not better than their teacher.
But when they have been fully taught, they will be like their teacher.
41 “Why do you notice the small piece of dust that is in your friend’s eye, but you don’t see the big piece of wood that is in your own eye?
42 You say to your friend, ‘Let me get that little piece of dust out of your eye.’
Why do you say this?
Can’t you see that big piece of wood in your own eye?
You are a hypocrite.
First, take the wood out of your own eye.
Then you will see clearly to get the dust out of your friend’s eye.

Luke 6:37-42 (ERV)

Judging Others
37 “Do not judge others, and God will not judge you; do not condemn others, and God will not condemn you; forgive others, and God will forgive you.
38 Give to others, and God will give to you. Indeed, you will receive a full measure, a generous helping, poured into your hands—all that you can hold. The measure you use for others is the one that God will use for you.”
39 And Jesus told them this parable: “One blind man cannot lead another one; if he does, both will fall into a ditch.
40 No pupils are greater than their teacher; but all pupils, when they have completed their training, will be like their teacher.
41 “Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but pay no attention to the log in your own eye? 42 How can you say to your brother, ‘Please, brother, let me take that speck out of your eye,’ yet cannot even see the log in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the log out of your own eye, and then you will be able to see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.

Luke 6:37-42 (GNT)
