Matthew 7:1-5

Download

The Lord be with you. A reading from the holy gospel according to Saint Matthew. Our Lord said to his disciples, If you want to avoid judgment, stop passing judgment. Your judgment on others will be the judgment passed upon yourself. The measure with which you measure will be used to measure yourself.

Why look at the speck in the eye of your brother when you miss the plank that is in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, let me take that speck out of your eye, while at the same time that plank remains in your own eye. You hypocrite. Remove the plank from your own eye first. Then you will see clearly to take the speck from your brother's eye.

And this is the gospel of the Lord.
