Do Not Judge Your Neighbor

1. Do not judge, that you will not be judged. For you will be judged as you judge others; and with whatever measure you measure, you will, in turn, be measured. And as you do to others, so will it be done to you. (Chap. 27:1

Christ explains, corrects
and deepens the word:

You have read that thoughts, words and deeds are magnets. The one who judges and condemns his neighbor in thoughts and with words will experience the same or like things on himself.

Recognize that your negative thoughts, words and deeds are your own judges. “With whatever measure you measure” – whether in thoughts or in words and actions – so will you yourself be measured. Just as you denigrate your neighbor, in order to exalt yourself, so will you be evaluated: You will know and suffer your own worth.

And if you say “What the one has is enough for him – the other one should receive more,” then one day you will possess only as much or even less than the one to whom you have conceded less. Just as you treat your neighbor in thoughts, words and deeds, so will you fare yourself one day.
