Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 7:1-29
Matthew 7:1-29I believe that it goes without saying that Jesus Christ was certainly the greatest teacher who ever lived and it is interesting to study his teaching habits. And He used the method of declaring a principle, amplifying it and then illustrating it. He declares a truth. It's important that we have certain principles established within our life by which we live. We need to know why we live by these principles and that's understood by having them illustrated for us. And so He follows... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 7:1-29
Matthew 7:1 . Judge not, that ye be not judged. This refers to private and censorious reproaches of others. We must judge nothing before the time. It is better that ten bad men pass for innocent, than one innocent man be unjustly censured. Slander exasperates the injured to judge us again with great wrath, and it exposes us to the judgment and displeasure of God. Matthew 7:6 . Give not that which is holy to the dogs. A proverbial expression, importing that some men cannot be reformed by... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 7:1
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. Ver. 1. Judge not, that ye be not judged ] Hoc verbum quandam indaginem involvit. The word a imports a kind of curious inquiry into other men’s faults, that we may the more severely censure and subject them to a sinister interpretation. It signifies sometimes no more, I grant, than to reprehend, asRomans 2:1; Romans 2:1 . But this, so it were wisely done, our Saviour would never have reprehended. "Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart:" but (for... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 7:1
2 . Supreme reverence for our heavenly Father as judge. In that kingdom which we are thus invited to seek first (Matthew 6:32) and enter, (Matthew 7:13,) we must never sit as judge, knowing that all our decisions will be rejudged, (Matthew 7:1-6.) (1.) Usurp not God’s place as Judges , vv1-6. 1. Judge not This command not to judge does not forbid us to estimate the characters of others, in order to regulate our own conduct. We are required so to estimate in Matthew 7:6; Matthew... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 7:1-27
III. CHRISTIAN PIETY DISTINGUISHED FROM GENTILISM, Matthew 6:19 to Matthew 7:27. Fallen Judaism is the impure service of the true God; Gentilism is the true service of a false god. That god is the world-god Mammon. Gentilism has lost its divine parent; it has become orphaned of our Father who is in heaven. In his place it has substituted the Mammon service and the earthly goods. After all these things do the Gentiles seek. Matthew 6:32. It is perfectly plain that with Matthew 6:18 our Lord... read more

DISCOURSE: 1325AGAINST UNCHARITABLE JUDGINGMatthew 7:1-2. Judge not that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.AMONGST the many faults with which the Pharisees of old were chargeable, that of censoriousness appears to have been peculiarly prominent.
