Matthew 7:1-6

GOD’S WORD Translation

The Sermon on a Mountain Continues: Stop Judging^(A)

7 “Stop judging so that you will not be judged. ² Otherwise, you will be judged by the same standard you use to judge others. The standards you use for others will be applied to you. ³ So why do you see the piece of sawdust in another believer’s eye and not notice the wooden beam in your own eye? ⁴ How can you say to another believer, ‘Let me take the piece of sawdust out of your eye,’ when you have a beam in your own eye? ⁵ You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye. Then you will see clearly to remove the piece of sawdust from another believer’s eye.

Don’t Throw Pearls to Pigs

⁶ “Don’t give what is holy to dogs or throw your pearls to pigs. Otherwise, they will trample them and then tear you to pieces.
