James 4:11-12

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Warning against Judging Another

¹¹ Do not speak evil against one another, brothers and sisters.^[a] Whoever speaks evil against another or judges another, speaks evil against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. ¹² There is one lawgiver and judge who is able to save and to destroy. So who, then, are you to judge your neighbor?
