Luke 6:36-42

36Be merciful (responsive, compassionate, tender) just as your [heavenly] Father is merciful.

37“ Do not judge [others self-righteously], and you will not be judged; do not condemn [others when you are guilty and unrepentant], and you will not be condemned [for your hypocrisy]; pardon [others when they truly repent and change], and you will be pardoned [when you truly repent and change].

38Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over [with no space left for more]. For with the standard of measurement you use [when you do good to others], it will be measured to you in return.”

39He also told them a parable: “Can a blind man guide [another] blind man? Will they not both fall into a hole in the ground?

40A student is not superior to his teacher; but everyone, after he has been completely trained, will be like his teacher.

41Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice or consider the log that is in your own eye?

42How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, allow me to take out the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite (play actor, pretender), first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother’s eye.
