Luke 6:37,38

LUKE—NOTE ON Luke 6:37 Judge not... condemn not. Literally, “Stop judging... condemning.” Jesus is not ruling out the legitimate use of discernment, church discipline, and law courts. Rather, he is teaching against focusing on other people’s faults (see notes on Matt. 7:1–5). be judged... condemned (by God). Forgive and give go beyond not judging and not condemning to seeking the positive well-being of others. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you. Compare Matthew 7:2; Mark 4:24.
