Matthew 7:1-12
Judging Others
[1] “Do not judge, or you will be judged. [2] For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
[3] Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye? [4] How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while there is still a beam in your own eye? [5] You hypocrite! First take the beam 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 holy; do not throw your pearls before swine. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.
Ask, Seek, Knock
[7] Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. [8] For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
[9] Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? [10] Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? [11] So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
[12] In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you. For this is the essence of the Law and the Prophets.

Slide 1
James 2:4,12-13
4 …have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, 13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
Slide 2
Romans 2:2
You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.

Proverbs 9:7-8
7 Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse,
and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury.
8 Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you;
reprove a wise man, and he will love you.
