Albert Barnes Commentary Matthew 7:2

"For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you." — Matthew 7:2 (ASV)

With what judgment, etc. This was a proverb among the Jews. It expressed a truth, and Christ did not hesitate to adopt it as conveying His own sentiments. It refers no less to the way in which people will judge us, than to the rule by which God will judge us. See 2 Samuel 22:27; Mark 4:24; James 2:13.

Mete. Measure. You will be judged by the same rule which you apply to others.
