At Matthew 7:3, the chapter invites a love and neighbor lens. Hold the memorable line beside the less familiar verses around it; context may deepen, narrow, or correct a popular use.

Answer with humility.

God, meet me as I read Matthew 7. Give me humility around good, cast, give, wisdom to honor the whole witness, courage for the responsibility that is mine, and grace for the limits I must accept. Amen.
