Matthew 7:1-5

Matthew 7:1-5

[1] Judge  not,  judged.  [2] For  with  what  judgment  ye judge,  and  with  what  measure  ye mete,  [3] And  why  beholdest  thou the mote  that is in  brother's  eye,  but  considerest  not  the beam  that is in  thine own  eye?  [4] Or  how  wilt thou say  brother,  Let  me pull out  the mote  eye;  and,  behold,  a beam  is in  eye?  [5] Thou hypocrite,  first  cast out  the beam  out of  eye;  and  then  shalt thou see clearly  to cast out  the mote  out of  brother's  eye.
