Chapter 7 - The Spirit Of Judgment
1. "Judge not falsely, lest you be falsely judged.
2. "For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged, and with whatever measure you measure, you will be measured.
3. "Judge according to the logic of the laws of nature, which are from Creation, because only they possess its truth and correctness.
4. "Why do you see the splinter in your brother's eye and are not aware of the beam in your own eye?
5. "Or, how dare you say to your brother: 'Wait, I will take the splinter out of your eye!' And behold, there is a beam in your own eye.
6. "You hypocrite, first take the beam out of your own eye, then see how you can take the splinter out of your brother's eye.
7. "Learn first the laws of nature and of Creation, their logic, before you judge and condemn and wish to see the faults of your neighbour.
8. "Through the laws of nature and of Creation learn first how to recognize your own faults, so that you can then correct the faults of your neighbours.
9. "You shall not give sacred things to the dogs, nor throw your pearls before the swine, lest they trample them with their feet and turn on you and tear you apart.
10. "Truly, I say to you: Do not throw your spiritual treasure into the dirt and do not waste it on the unworthy, because they will not thank you and will tear you apart, for their understanding is small and their spirit is weak.
