Charles Ellicott 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 you judge... — Here again, truth takes the form of a seeming paradox. The unjust judgment of humanity does not bring upon us a divine judgment that is also unjust. Rather, the severity we have unjustly meted out to others becomes, by a retributive law, the measure of what is justly dealt out to us.
