Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that you be not judged. little boy once went home to his mother and said, "Mother, sister and I went out into the garden, and we were calling about, and there was some boy mocking us." "How do you mean, Johnny?" said his mother. "Why," said the child, "I was calling out, 'He!' and this boy said, 'He!' So I said to him, 'Who are you?' and he answered, 'Who are you?' I said, 'What is your name?' he said, 'What is your name?' And I said to him, 'Why don't you show yourself?' he said, ' Show yourself?' And I jumped over the ditch, and I went into the woods, and I could not find him, and I came back, and said, 'If you don't come out I will punch your head!' and he said, 'I will punch your head!' "So his mother said, "Ah, Johnny I if you had said, 'I love you,' he would have said, 'I love You.' If you had said, 'Your voice is sweet,' he would have said, 'Your voice is sweet.' Whatever you said to him, he would have said back to you." And the mother also said, "Now, Johnny, when you grow and get to be a man, whatever you say to others they will, by and by, say back to you." And his mother took him to that old text in the Scripture, "With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." Parallel Verses KJV: Judge not, that ye be not judged. |
