Matthew 7:1

Judge not, that ye be not judged. (KJV)

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.(NIV)

“Refuse to be a critic full of bias toward others, and judgment will not be passed on you. (The Passion Trans)

If you judge other people, then you will find that you, too, are being judged. (Voice)

“Don’t pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults— unless, of course, you want the same treatment. That critical spirit has a way of boomeranging. (Message)
