Luke 6:37-44 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

37. “Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven.

38. Give and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap. For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you.”

39. And he told them a parable, “Can a blind person guide a blind person? Will not both fall into a pit?

40. No disciple is superior to the teacher; but when fully trained, every disciple will be like his teacher.

41. Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own?

42. How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove that splinter in your eye,’ when you do not even notice the wooden beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! Remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter in your brother’s eye.

43. “A good tree does not bear rotten fruit, nor does a rotten tree bear good fruit.

44. For every tree is known by its own fruit. For people do not pick figs from thornbushes, nor do they gather grapes from brambles.
