Do Not Judge^(A)

^37 (B)“Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. ^(C)Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

Do Not Judge a Brother

^11 (A)Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother ^(B)and judges his brother, speaks evil of 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 ^[a]Lawgiver, ^(C)who is able to save and to destroy. ^(D)Who^[b] are you to judge ^[c]another?

God’s Righteous Judgment

2 Therefore you are ^(A)inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, ^(B)for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. ² But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.

¹⁰ But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For ^(A)we shall all stand before the judgment seat of ^[a]Christ. ¹¹ For it is written:

¹² So then ^(C)each of us shall give account of himself to God. ¹³ Therefore let us not judge one another ^[b]anymore, but rather resolve this, ^(D)not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.

^41 (A)And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the plank in your own eye?

³ But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human ^[a]court. In fact, I do not even judge myself. ⁴ For I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord. ^5 (A)Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to ^(B)light the hidden things of darkness and ^(C)reveal the ^[b]counsels of the hearts. ^(D)Then each one’s praise will come from God.

⁵ Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

³ Let not him who eats despise him who does not eat, and ^(A)let not him who does not eat judge him who eats; for God has received him. ^4 (B)Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.
