“Do not judge!
Then you will not be judged.”
καὶ μὴ κρίνετε, καὶ οὐ μὴ κριθῆτε·
This verse is almost the same as in Matthew, chapter 7:1. Thus, Jesus told his followers not to judge others (καὶ μὴ κρίνετε), so that they would not be judged (καὶ οὐ μὴ κριθῆτε). Jesus said that whatever judgments they made, they would be judged the same way. Do you judge people a lot?
“Do not judge!
Thus,
You may not be judged.
With the judgment
You make,
You will be judged.
The measure you give
Will be the measure
You get.”
Μὴ κρίνετε, ἵνα μὴ κριθῆτε
ἐν ᾧ γὰρ κρίματι κρίνετε κριθήσεσθε, καὶ ἐν ᾧ μέτρῳ μετρεῖτε μετρηθήσεται ὑμῖν.
The first verse here is exactly the same as in Luke, chapter 6:37, indicating a common Q source. Thus, Jesus told his followers not to judge others (Μὴ κρίνετε), so that they would not be judged (ἵνα μὴ κριθῆτε). Whatever judgment they made (ἐν ᾧ γὰρ κρίματι κρίνετε), they would be judged (κριθήσεσθε,) the same way. Whatever they used as a measuring rod (καὶ ἐν ᾧ μέτρῳ μετρεῖτε), it would be the same measuring stick used on them (μετρηθήσεται ὑμῖν). This last phrase is exactly the same as in Luke, chapter 6:38, which was also like Mark, chapter 4:24.
