Compare Matthew 7:1-5; 12:36-37; Mark 4:24-25; John 13:16; 15:20
I like Luke’s fuller version of the warning not to condemn others. In the quotation below, which comes from the Revised Standard Version, I italicize the words that don’t really have a parallel in Matthew 7:1:
“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For the measure you give will be the measure you get back.”
Rich teaching. The world would be a better place if we were to show the charity to others that we hope to receive for ourselves.
