Judging Others

37 (A)(B)“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; (C)forgive, and you will be forgiven; 38 (D)give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put (E)into your lap. For (F)with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”

28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, (A)God gave them up to (B)a debased mind to do (C)what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know (D)God's righteous decree that those who practice such things (E)deserve to die, they not only do them but (F)give approval to those who practice them.

God's Righteous Judgment

Therefore you have (G)no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For (H)in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? Or do you presume on (I)the riches of his kindness and (J)forbearance and (K)patience, (L)not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are (M)storing up (N)wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.
