Are there any language literary devices associated with the (Matthew
7:1-5) bible verse “Do not judge so that you will not be judged…..” ?
Matthew 7:1-12
New American Standard Bible 1995
Judging Others
7 “Do not judge so that you will not be judged. 2 For in the way you
judge, you will be judged; and [a]by your standard of measure, it will
be measured to you. 3 Why do you look at the speck that is in your
brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 Or
how [b]can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your
eye,’ and behold, the log is in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first
take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to
take the speck out of your brother’s eye.
6 “Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls
before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and
tear you to pieces.
Prayer and the Golden Rule
7 “[c]Ask, and it will be given to you; [d]seek, and you will find;
[e]knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks
receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be
opened. 9 Or what man is there among you [f]who, when his son asks for
a loaf, [g]will give him a stone? 10 Or [h]if he asks for a fish, he
will not give him a snake, will he? 11 If you then, being evil, know
how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your
Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!
12 “In everything, therefore, [i]treat people the same way you want
[j]them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
@Dottard As per your comment request, from my perspective, it seems that the Matthew 7:1 ‘s phrasing that starts off with “Do Not judge so that you will Not be judged” can be viewed as hyperbole because Matthew is resorting to hyperbole in order to emphasize
-
that people should be Reluctant to dole out judgements about others because people might Not be evaluating/understanding all the contextual circumstantial aspects and conditions revolving around other people’s actions and behviours in life.
-
Furthermore, the people who judge need to be cautious & careful about doling out judgements because they themselves have flaws just like the people who are being judged have flaws.
Therefore, Matthew 7:1 ‘s phrasing about Not judging others is hyperbole because it’s Not really intending to state that people should Never judge others but rather that people should be reluctant, careful & cautious about judging others.
(Matthew 7:1) 7 “Do not judge so that you will not be judged. 2 For in
the way you judge, you will be judged; and [a]by your standard of
measure, it will be measured to you.
To be more specific, Could the (Matthew 7:1-5) bible verses be associated with literary devices of hyperbole, figure of speech? To elaborate, could we interpret said verses to be suggesting that we should be careful and Not be too quick to judge others. Righteous Godly judgement should be done carefully with cautious attention.

Literary devices explaining Paul’s use of language style when it comes to marrying or even being involved in worldliness (1 Corinthians 7:27-31)?
Any language literary devices explaining how God’s repent in 1 Samuel 15:35, but also God’s Never Repenting characteristic 1 Sam 15:29 & Num 23:19?
Concerning the phrase, “Judge not, that you be not judged” in Matthew 7:1: whose judgment is to be avoided?

The Incomparable Christ
For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven. Col 1

Human kind exists by design as a result of a horrific struggle that manifest in the Realm of the Spiritual before the creation of Time, the Universe, the human genome. If one is interested, God the Holy Spirit explains human life and “why?”

“life” is completely trivial used in this logic.
Did “life” happen by accident?…
#1 You need an astronomical amount of odds to even create a situational environment for life to thrive in that it is impossible.
#2 Then, after having said situation, you would need it stay stable for billions of years which is compounding the already impossible odds.
#3 You need tons of amino acids out of thin air. Better luck spinning straw into gold.
#4 You would need biological formation of some sort. Like the ability to support life and information. The hardware to software.
#5 Then you would need the information coding. The actual software to go into hardware persay.
#6 Then after you have your perfect condition for life, a sustaining environment too, you have the genetic material and you have the information, now you have a physical biological entity to function you still need to turn the light on with cognitive functions.
As in, the Bible says God created Adam, and then breathed “life” into him.
As in you would just have a body on life support. Medical science still has absolutely no idea how to create “life” even if you can create an entire body out of thin air. They can’t turn it on.

I wonder if the question, in that group, was asked by chance?
