Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.

Matthew 7:1-5 discusses the importance of not judging others. The way we judge others can be turned against us, in that we will be judged the some way. Verses 3-5 are very important. We often don't see ourselves as the problem. We often find fault in someone else, when we are actually the real issue. Verses 3-5 in short tell is to check ourselves before we start checking other people. We have to clean the filter & dirt from our eyes in order to see things more clearly, to see the other person's perspective, and to also make sure we are not looking at the situation in a judgmental manner.
