Matthew 7:2

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

For {G1722} with {G3739} what {G1063} judgment {G2917} ye judge {G2919}, ye shall be judged {G2919}: and {G2532} with {G1722} what {G3739} measure {G3358} ye mete {G3354}, it shall be measured {G488} to you {G5213} again {G488}.

For the way you judge others is how you will be judged -- the measure with which you measure out will be used to measure to you.

For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you.
