"Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For with the judgment you make you will be judged and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck in your neighbor’s eye, but you do not notice the log in your own eye? Or how can you say to your neighbor, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, fi rst take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take
the speck out of your neighbor’s eye.”
(Jesus, Matthew 7:1-5)

“Why all the souls that were were forfeit once
And he that might the vantage best have took
Found out the remedy. How would you be
If he which is the top of judgment should
But judge you as you are. Oh think on that
and mercy then will breathe within your lips
like man made new."
(William Shakespeare - Measure for measure act 2 scene 2)

"The gospel is good news for sick people and is disturbing for those who think they’ve got it all together. Some of us have been told our lives that we are wretched, but the gospel reminds us that we are beautiful. Others of us have been told our whole lives that we are beautiful, but the gospel reminds us that we are also wretched. The church is a place where we can stand up and say we are wretched, and everyone will nod and agree and remind us that we are beautiful.”
(Shane Claiborne ‒ The Irresistible Revolution)
