Matthew 7:2-4

7:2 For by the standard you judge you will be judged, and the measure you use will be the measure you receive. ¹  7:3 Why ²  do you see the speck ³  in your brother’s eye, but fail to see ⁴  the beam of wood ⁵  in your own? 7:4 Or how can you say ⁶  to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye,’ while there is a beam in your own?

¹ tn Grk “by [the measure] with which you measure it will be measured to you.”

² tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

³ sn The term translated speck refers to a small piece of wood, chaff, or straw; see L&N 3.66.

⁴ tn Or “do not notice.”

⁵ sn The term beam of wood refers to a very big piece of wood, the main beam of a building, in contrast to the speck in the other’s eye (L&N 7.78).

⁶ tn Grk “how will you say?”
