Luke 6:39

Judging Others

38Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”39Jesus also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?40A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.
