1 "Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with
what judgment you judge, you will be judged and
with the measure you use, it will be measured
back to you. 3 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 out of your brother's eye. 6 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.
