In the Sermon on the Mount, our blessed Lord said, ''Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you shall be forgiven. Give, and it shall be given to you. Good measure, pressed down and shaken to gether and running over, shall they give it to your bosom. For with the same measure that you shall mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why seest thou the mote in thy brother's eye, but the beam that is in thy own eye, thou considerest notT How canst thou say to thy brother, 'Brother, let me pull the mote out of thy eye,' when thou thyself seest not the beam in thy own eye T Hypocrite, cast rst the beam out of thy own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to take out the mote from out thy brother's eye.''
