1Ⅰ Matthew 7:1-12 concerns the principles of the kingdom people in dealing with others and reveals that the heavenly ruling over the kingdom people requires that they take care of others according to the spirit (cf. Judg. 9:8-9):
31 If we judge others with righteousness, we will be judged with righteousness by the Lord (v. 2); if we judge others with mercy, we will be judged with mercy by the Lord; mercy triumphs over judgment (James 2:13).
42 For us to deal with others, we must reject ourselves and consider them, sympathize with them, and be merciful toward them; the splinter in our brother's eye must remind us of the beam in our own eye (Matt. 7:3).
53 只要梁木还留在我们眼中,我们的眼光就模糊,不能看得清楚—4~5节。
53 As long as the beam remains in our eye, our vision is blurred, and we cannot see clearly (vv. 4-5).
