Judge not, and ye shall not be judged. — See Note on Matthew 7:1. In St. Luke’s report there is something like a climax. “Seek not to judge at all. If you must judge, be not eager to condemn.”

Forgive. — Better, set free, release, or acquit; the word expressing a quasi-judicial act rather than the forgiveness of a private wrong.
