Sermon Tone Analysis

(NKJV)

37–38 “Don’t pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults—unless, of course, you want the same treatment.

Don’t condemn those who are down; that hardness can boomerang.

Be easy on people; you’ll find life a lot easier.

Judging

7 “Judge not, that you be not judged.

2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite!

First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

Hypocrite- act like somebody your not, pretender
