Matthew 7:1-2

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 7:2

Matthew 7:2 The New Testament is full of a natural and necessary reciprocity between man and the things by which he is surrounded. Every gift has its return, every act has its consequence, every call has its answer in this great, live, alert world, where man stands central, and all things have their eyes on him, and their ears open to his voice. I. Even with man's relations to the material earth this law is true. "They treated nature as they would." So all men all races treat nature according... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 7:1-29

Matthew 7:1-29I believe that it goes without saying that Jesus Christ was certainly the greatest teacher who ever lived and it is interesting to study his teaching habits. And He used the method of declaring a principle, amplifying it and then illustrating it. He declares a truth. It's important that we have certain principles established within our life by which we live. We need to know why we live by these principles and that's understood by having them illustrated for us. And so He follows... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 7:1-29

Matthew 7:1 . Judge not, that ye be not judged. This refers to private and censorious reproaches of others. We must judge nothing before the time. It is better that ten bad men pass for innocent, than one innocent man be unjustly censured. Slander exasperates the injured to judge us again with great wrath, and it exposes us to the judgment and displeasure of God. Matthew 7:6 . Give not that which is holy to the dogs. A proverbial expression, importing that some men cannot be reformed by... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 7:1

1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. Ver. 1. Judge not, that ye be not judged ] Hoc verbum quandam indaginem involvit. The word a imports a kind of curious inquiry into other men’s faults, that we may the more severely censure and subject them to a sinister interpretation. It signifies sometimes no more, I grant, than to reprehend, asRomans 2:1; Romans 2:1 . But this, so it were wisely done, our Saviour would never have reprehended. "Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart:" but (for... read more
