7 “Don’t judge others so that you won’t be judged yourselves, 2 [ref]because you’ll all be judged in the same way that you judge others. Whatever standard you use on others will be the same standard used on you. 3 And why are you looking at the speck in the eye of another person when you have a massive lump in your own eye? 4 How could you say to them, ‘Let me get the speck out of your eye,’ when the lump is still in your eye? 5 What a hypocrite! First get the lump out of your own eye and you’ll be able to see clearly so then you can help them with their eye.

6 “Don’t give special things to dogs and don’t pitch pearls to pigs, because they’ll all just trample them underfoot and then they’re just as likely to turn and attack you.
