1"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
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? 4How 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? 5You 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.
By giving grace to others that you view as the rankest of sinners, am I not simply allowing the same bountiful grace to come back upon myself? The scriptures that you (plural) proclaim to be inspired, and given by God, proclaim it so.
Who cares if people smoke and still believe they are saved? Why are you so worried about that "sawdust" in their eye???
