Actually, Matt 7 was addressed to all who came to listen to the sermon, that day,
And, I believe that it was saved down through the ages for all to read. Matt 7 is
spoken to all of us and it speaks of the judgment of right and wrong in our lives. It is
a current statement anytime we read it. And it ties to Romans 2:1 quite nicely.
It is harshness in judgment that is precluded - not hypocrisy. For the sake of the
illustration, Jesus assumes that all who were listening to Him on that day were in need of
the lesson(s) He taught. There is at least a hint of hypocrisy in all of us. We (all) are falling short of the Glory.
Where in scripture are we given the charge to pass judgment regarding eternal destiny on
someone else?

Once we get the beam out of our own eye, then we will see clearly to cast out the mote out of our brother's eye. Hypocrites should not judge, but he that is spiritual judges everything.
