Matthew 7:1-6
1 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. 6 “Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you.
Natasha Crain, ‘If anything at all is to be classified as sin in secular culture, it’s the act of ‘judging others’. Go ahead and follow your heart and pursue your own happiness, but don’t stop along the way to claim that someone else is following their heart or pursuing their happiness wrongly’
