They judged harshly those who did not live by the Mosaic Law and those who did not follow the unscriptural traditions that the Pharisees promoted. Jesus commanded any who had the habit of judging others to stop it. Instead of continually finding fault, disciples of Jesus should “keep on forgiving” the shortcomings of their fellow man. By doing so, they encourage others to show the same forgiving attitude.—See <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070607/0/0">study note on Lu 6:37</a>.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group marginal"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Marginal References</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item collapsible marginal marginalExpander collapsed" data-src="/en/wol/marginalreference/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/40/7/233" data-extract-id="verseMarginal-234"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">+</span></span><span class="icon"></span><span class="marginal title"><span class="scalableui">Ro 2:1;

He compares a minor flaw to something small like a “straw.” The Greek word <em>karʹphos</em> can refer not only to a “straw” but also to a small piece of wood, so other Bibles render it a “splinter,” or a “speck of sawdust.” The critic implies that his brother’s spiritual vision, including his moral perception and judgment, is defective. By offering to “remove the straw,” he proudly asserts that he is qualified to help his brother see things more clearly and to judge matters correctly. Jesus, however, says that the critic’s own spiritual vision and judgment are impaired by a symbolic “rafter,” a log or beam that might be used to support a roof. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070607/2/0" data-bid="3-1" class="b">Mt 7:4, 5</a>) Some suggest that this powerful, even humorous contrast, indicates that Jesus was familiar with the work done in a carpenter’s shop.</p> <p id="p7" data-pid="7" class="s5"><strong>your brother’s:</strong> In this context, the Greek word <em>a·del·phosʹ</em> (brother) refers to a spiritual relationship and denotes a fellow worshipper of God.
