SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:1–7:29: Jesus preached a sermon on a mountain

For many years, English versions and Christians have commonly referred to Matthew 5–7 as “The Sermon on the Mount.” In some translations, it may be helpful to include a heading for chapters 5–7 that is on a level above the section heading for 5:1–12.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The Sermon on the Mountain

The sermon that Jesus preached on a mountain

Jesus taught people on the side of a mountain/hill

Paragraph 7:1–5

Even though a new chapter begins at 7:1, Jesus continued “the Sermon on the Mount” which he began in chapter 5. In some languages, it may be natural to begin this chapter with something like:

Jesus continued,

Jesus continued to teach and said,

In other languages, no introduction is necessary here. You may want to begin this chapter as you began chapter 6.

7:1a

“Do not judge,

¶ “Do not harshly judge^(plur) others
¶ Jesus continued, “Do not condemn^(plur) other people

Do not judge: The Greek word that the BSB translates as judge means “judge or condemn harshly.” For example:

Don’t condemn others (CEV)

In this context the word judge does not refer to rendering a judgment in a court or council. This command does not forbid leaders to make decisions or judgments. It is a command not to judge in a harsh or unfair way.

7:1b

or you will be judged.

so that you^(plur) will not be harshly judged.
in order that God will not condemn you^(plur).

or you will be judged: There are several ways to interpret the Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as or:

It indicates purpose. For example:
so that you may not be judged (NRSV) (RSV, NRSV, ESV, NIV, GNT, NASB, GW, NET, KJV)
It indicates result. For example:
and you will not be judged (NLT) (BSB, NJB, NLT, CEV, JBP, REB)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1).

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

in order that you not be judged

for the purpose that you not be condemned

you will be judged: This clause is passive.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

Use a passive verb. For example:
you will not be judged (NET)
Use an active verb. God is the one who will judge/condemn. For example:
God will not judge you (GNT)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μὴ κρίνετε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μή κρίνετε ἵνα μή κριθῆτε)

Here Jesus uses the word judge to refer to unofficial and improper judging. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this explicit. Alternate translation: [Do not harshly judge] or [Do not condemn]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

ἵνα

in_order_that

Here, the phrase so that introduces the goal for which the disciples refrain from judging. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces a goal. Alternate translation: [in order that]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

μὴ κριθῆτε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μή κρίνετε ἵνα μή κριθῆτε)

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, it is clear from the context that it is God. Alternate translation: [God will not judge you]
