Matthew 7:3-5

New International Version (NIV)


3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.


My faith is still maturing and I don't pretend to know and understand the Bible fully. I am a work in progress. When I think judgemental thoughts of others I try to keep this passage in mind. I will never be without sin, best I keep busy working on my own, rather than focus on someone else's. For some reason we do tend to rank sin, but sin is sin. One can love the sinner, without condoning the sin though.
