Matthew 7:2

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Matthew 7:2

This rule, which God will infallibly follow, should put a check to the freedom with which we so frequently condemn our neighbour. (Haydock) --- As we behave towards our neighbours, interpreting their actions with charitableness, and excusing their intentions with mildness; or, on the contrary, judging them with severity, and condemning them without pity; so shall we receive our judgment. (Menochius) --- As the pardon of our sins is proportioned to the pardon we afford to others, so also will... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 7:1-6

1-6 We must judge ourselves, and judge of our own acts, but not make our word a law to everybody. We must not judge rashly, nor pass judgment upon our brother without any ground. We must not make the worst of people. Here is a just reproof to those who quarrel with their brethren for small faults, while they allow themselves in greater ones. Some sins are as motes, while others are as beams; some as a gnat, others as a camel. Not that there is any sin little; if it be a mote, or splinter, it is... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 7:1-99

Matthew 7 THE LORD’S TEACHINGS, recorded in Matthew 6.0 , were designed to lead His disciples into such relations with their Father in heaven, that He would fill their thoughts, whether in regard to their almsgiving, their prayers, their fastings, or their attitude to the possessions and needs of this life. Matthew 7.0 opens with teachings that would regulate their dealings with their brethren, and even with the ungodly. The judging of one’s brother is a very deep-seated tendency in our... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 7:1-2

Warning against Unauthorized Judging and Admonition to Persevere in Prayer. A lesson from the Eighth Commandment: v. 1. Judge not, that ye be not judged. v. 2. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. The Lord's words, in this connection, do not exclude all judging. According to God's own creation and order, those whom He has placed as superiors have the right and duty to watch over those placed in their care and... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Matthew 7:1-6

5. Issue and characteristic manifestations of Pharisœism, as wicked harshness and abuse of what is holy. (Inquisitions and Indulgences)Matthew 7:1-61Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.1 3And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 7:1-12

Judging Self; Asking God; Serving Others Matthew 7:1-12 There is abundant need for a right and sound judgment, illumined by the Spirit of truth; but there is a world of difference between it and the censorious and critical opinions which we are apt to form and utter about others. Human nature is fond of climbing up into the judgment seat and proclaiming its decisions, without hearing both sides or calling witnesses. Beware of basing your judgment on idle stories and gossip. In any case, do... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 7:1-29

After thus enunciating the laws of the Kingdom, and bringing men into the realm of direct dealing with God, the King authoritatively set up the standard of judgment. No man is to be his brother's judge. He cannot, first because he can never know all the facts of the case, and, further, because '' his own need is so great that any time occupied in censorious criticism is so much taken from the all-important work of attending to his own "beam." And yet there is to be discrimination in dealing... read more

Robert Neighbour

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Matthew 7:1-29

The Sermon on the Mount (Continued) Matthew 7:1-29 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. A command. God not only requests but definitely commands us, that we should not judge one another. There is probably no sin quite as common among Christian people, as the sin of judging others. There are, indeed, few sins that have as much evil effect upon others, as does this sin. The Apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 4:2 : "It is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful." That is true, but it is not for us... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 7:1-2

AGAINST RASH JUDGMENT‘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.’ Matthew 7:1-Exodus : Here we see the rule of God’s judgment in matters between man and man—‘With what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again.’ Thus, we see that, for the present, God is to us all, even to the unthankful and evil, what He would have us also to be. But between this life and that other comes the... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 7:1-2

Do not judge, in order that you are not judged, For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged, And with what measure you measure, it will be measured to you. Clearly the first question here is as to what Jesus means by ‘judging’. The term has a wide meaning moving from ‘assessing’ on the one hand to ‘total condemnation’ on the other. Some would see Matthew 7:1 as standing on its own, but in that case it simply becomes a truism. It would be to go against all the teaching of Scripture... read more
