Matthew 7:1–5 (Listen)
7:1 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.
(ESV)
Matthew 7:12 (Listen)
12 “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
(ESV)
