³⁷ “^(A)Do not ^[a]judge, and you will not be judged; and do not ^[b]condemn, and you will not be condemned; ^[c](B)pardon, and you will be pardoned. ³⁸ Give, and it will be given to you. They will ^[d]pour ^(C)into your lap a ^(D)good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”

³⁹ Now He also spoke a parable to them: “^(E)A person who is blind cannot guide another who is blind, can he? Will they not both fall into a pit? ^40 (F)A ^[e]student is not above the teacher; but everyone, when he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher. ⁴¹ Why do you look at the ^[f]speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? ⁴² How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the ^[g]speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the ^[h]speck that is in your brother’s eye. ^43 (G)For there is no good tree that bears bad fruit, nor, ^[i]on the other hand, a bad tree that bears good fruit. ^44 (H)For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush. ^45 (I)The good person out of the good ^[j]treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil person out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; ^(J)for his mouth speaks from ^[k]that which fills his heart.
