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?

[7:2]  ¹ tn Grk “by [the measure] with which you measure it will be measured to you.”

[7:3]  ² tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[7:3]  ³ sn The term translated speck refers to a small piece of wood, chaff, or straw; see L&N 3.66.

[7:3]  ⁴ tn Or “do not notice.”

[7:3]  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).

[7:4]  ⁶ tn Grk “how will you say?”
