I like your breakdown. I would suggest adding what Jamieson-Fausset-Brown point out about verse 6. I would say 7:1-6 is more about HOW TO Judge, in the way Jesus teaches them HOW TO Pray. Anyway...liked it and subscribed :)

Let me give it a shot: people don't liked to be judged, and that's human nature because we like to think we are always correct! Put it this way, judging people does have a negative feeling to it! Some people will really get offended and will turn around and attack you like a dog! So, don't do it! Pearls would be your advice, and dogs would be your friends ...etc,

Brother, if I think some one is upside down in the Bible and I have the word ie verus to show them is it my duty to speak to them on this subject?

Is it a possibility that verse 6 actually does not belong with the rest of these verses? I know context is everything but it feels like verse 6 is more a standalone verse, and wrongly grouped as part of this theme by some Bibles including the NIV. Given that Matthew 7 jumps through several themes, could it be that verse 6 is in itself it's own lesson about the kingdom of heaven? It makes more sense to me that way because Jesus makes a similar analogy about giving bread to dogs in Matthew 15:21-28, and the kingdom of heaven is referred to as a pearl in Matthew 13:45. It would also explain why this verse is talking about a "giving" action as something holy rather than a "doing" action as seen in the first 5 verses. Just a thought, and I appreciate the loving way you have explained these verses.
